Jarrow 299v is life changing (at least, for me!)
I don’t think I’d be exaggerating to say this product has changed my life. I’ve experienced digestive discomfort in the form of irregularity, gas and bloating most of my life, but the fun really started when I hit my mid-40s. I’ve never been formally diagnosed, but my symptoms align with those of IBS with constipation. Not to sound over-dramatic, but the past 10 years have been increasingly miserable to the point that I have cut back almost completely on socializing and traveling due to digestive discomfort. (Dinner and a movie?–NO thank you! Road trip with friends? Forget it!!) A few years ago, I discovered wheat was a problem, and have eliminated that from my diet with much improvement (along with soy, wine, beer, added sugar, and most other “offensive” foods that could cause excess gas, bloating or intestinal pain) but still, was experiencing problems with digestion. I’m a 56 year old woman who lives a very healthy lifestyle–you’d think I’d feel better than this. At the suggestion of a friend, I started taking Jarrow 299v about 2 months ago, and I have noticed a significant change in regularity and in how my digestive system is working. I am no longer uncomfortable after meals, I don’t feel abdominal pressure or pain after eating, and I am more regular. Could this be what normal people feel like? I have tried several other probiotics in the past but have honestly never had the results that I’ve experienced with Jarrow. I am only taking 1 capsule per day and doing just fine with that. I ordered the 3-pack, and the product was shipped quickly in a cool pack. I am storing it in the refrigerator till I use it. I recommend anyone with irregularity issues give Jarrow 299v a try.

Changed my life! From a dietitian and diabetes educator
This probiotic changed my life-literally! I am a dietitian and diabetes educator, and with my science background I decided to research a new probiotic to see if I could reduce my IBS symptoms. There was an small but scientifically sound study regarding the organism used in this product called lactobacillus plantarum. It showed significant regression of IBS symptoms in a statistically significant percentage of participants. And it worked for me! After 1-1/2 months I am off of two of my IBS medications and cut in half a third medication dose. I don’t need the FODMAP diet to control my symptoms anymore, and most excitingly,I can tolerate gluten again! What a life changer! Obviously this won’t necessarily work for everyone but it is worth a try given the potential for improvement in daily symptoms and the Lip liberalization of your diet. I have sent it to my daughter who is struggling with her IBS and I hope she gets the same results as me.

Arrived damaged/opened but no refund available
When I opened the package, I found multiple pill pouches torn open. Several capsules were broken and one was missing altogether. Since the foil was opened and appeared tampered with, and especially since a capsule was missing altogether, I do not consider what remained safe to use. I tried to request a refund or replacement and the response is that no refund is available. Sending an opened, damaged box of pills and making no refund available is a rip-off. I’ll stick with other probiotic brands. This one is the only one I’ve had this sort of issue with.

The cure to antiobiotic caused IBS
For about a year, I had increased flatulence and regular sour stomach. At first, a little annoying – but it got worse and worse. eventually keeping me up or waking me up. I had blood drawn, stool samples done – everything but a scope.Eventually I started a very strict diet. That more or less helped. Then I tried numerous probiotics. Mainly Align and Florastor. Once I started this probiotic and activia (greek, less lactose) every morning I noticed a big difference. Now when I eat off of my diet, it doesn’t bug me as much. In fact, I sometimes eat known triggers with zero symptoms. I did FODMAP for a few weeks and this probiotic, now I do activia, this probiotic and can (more or less) eat what I want again.I believe this all started after I got a sinus infection that would not quit, putting me on 1 month of antibiotics. I rarely ever take antiobiotics. My theory is that it upset my gut flora. Mind you, I’m not a doctor and though mine agrees this is possible – no tests proved it. This is merely anecdotal evidence of one guys experience. In my opinion, this probiotic cured me. The cause may be the antiobiotics, it may not be, but this little guy solved it.
