Jun 8, 2019 · The only thing I’d say about IBGard is to watch out for the knock off brands. I recently got something at Walgreen’s that was supposed to be the cheaper Walgreen’s brand version of IBGard, and I flared up after taking it and later realized that it had all sorts of weird stuff in it that IBGard doesn’t, like a proprietary digestive aid ...

Jul 31, 2015 · I've been trying IBGard also. It's expensive but somehow I feel it's stronger than the Heather's Tummy Tamers that I'd been using before. At first I didn't think it worked that well and then I read the box and it said you can take 1-2 pills up to 3 times a day; I'd only been taking one. 6 over the course of a day really help, but then a 48 ...

Jul 15, 2021 · Take IBgard® first and then take the acid reducer one hour later.* Acid reducers, such as antacids or H2 blockers, can lower the level of acid in the stomach, which may cause a premature release of peppermint oil from IBgard. IBgard can generally be taken with proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s), which are longer-acting acid controllers.

May 26, 2024 · To add to that IBgard is made by nestle which if you did not know, is an extremely evil corporation. because of these factors I decided about a month ago that i would find an alternative to IBgard that works just as well if not better. When searching I came up with some rules. The alternative must be cheaper It must work just as well as IBgard

May 5, 2019 · We are finding that IBGard is extremely expensive (28.00/8 day supply). Are there equally effective, yet less costly alternatives to IBGard? One such potential option is Heather's Tummy Tamer (9.00/30 day supply), but I am unable to find any actual comparisons between the two, or for other information on less costly, yet effective options.

Jun 22, 2018 · I suggested IBgard to a friend who also suffers from more aggressive symptoms than I do, and he also found that it was extremely helpful! He said it works better than anything else he's tried. If you want to read more about my personal experience with …

Jun 7, 2023 · So, I decided to try taking the IBgard at night and first thing in the morning when I wake up. It started helping! I had fewer flares and they weren't as bad, when they did happen. I also have PCOS, so I drink spearmint tea. But it makes me sleepy, so I started drinking it at night. Miraculously, that seems to fortify the IBgard.

Mar 27, 2021 · FDgard or IBgard? My gastroenterologist gave me FDgard samples but she said I probably have some form of IBS. If that's the case, I would rather get IBgard instead but I don't really know if there's a difference between IBgard or FDgard chemical wise?

Sep 14, 2021 · IBGard is for the intestines and FDGard is for the stomach. Finally, do not expect immediate relief with IBGard, or any other type of peppermint pill that is enteric coated (enteric coating helps it get to your intestines and then release, rather in your stomach). It takes 2-4 weeks for results to actually be seen.

Jul 27, 2022 · Peppermint does help me, but IBGard itself was a no go. The capsules open in my esophagus or stomach instead of my intestines and cause a lot of irritation. I drink peppermint tea before or after meals and that sometimes works ok. I also have some peppermint oil candies formulated by a GI that I use when eating out that work ok as well.
