Diarrhea is an uncomfortable situation that can have many causes. Most of the time, diarrhea will go away on its own. However, in some instances, diarrhea can linger around and impact and inconvenience your life. While there have been many options, Sustenex is different because it contains the probiotic GanedenBC30, which can help protect against occasional diarrhea.*
Why Do You Sometimes Have Diarrhea?
According to the National Digestive Disease Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC), people of all ages can get diarrhea. While it’s impossible to pinpoint why some people experience diarrhea while others don’t, one of the more common factors of occasional diarrhea is an imbalance of the bacteria in your digestive tract.
Other influences of occasional diarrhea may include:
- Food intolerances
Some people are unable to digest certain foods such as artificial sweeteners and lactose (the sugar found in milk).
- Stress
- Medications (especially antibiotics)
- Illness
- Traveling to foreign countries (“traveler’s diarrhea”)
Here are some tips to remember when travelling:
a. Do not drink tap water or use it to brush your teeth.
b. Do not drink unpasteurized milk or dairy products.
c. Do not use ice made from tap water.
d. Avoid all raw fruits and vegetables, including lettuce and fruit salads, unless they can be peeled and you peel them yourself.
e. Do not eat raw or rare meat and fish.
f. Do not eat meat or shellfish that is not hot when served.
g. Do not eat food from street vendors.You can safely drink bottled water—if you are the one to break the seal—along with carbonated soft drinks, and hot drinks such as coffee or tea.
How Does Sustenex Help With Occasional Diarrhea?
Sustenex can help protect against occasional diarrhea by delivering the probiotic GanedenBC30 (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) into your intestinal tract. GanedenBC30 can help to reestablish healthy levels of beneficial bacteria into your digestive system which can then help balance your digestive system.*
Does Sustenex Cause Diarrhea?
There have been no reported cases of Sustenex causing diarrhea. In the first few days you may experience mild intestinal gas while your digestive system adjusts. This is a good sign. It’s an indication that Sustenex is working to rebalance your digestive system.
How Will I Know If Sustenex is Working?
Because everyone’s digestive system is unique, it’s important to give your digestive system enough time to adjust to Sustenex. While many people experience digestive balance relatively soon, others require more time. We recommend taking Sustenex for thirty days to fully evaluate its effectiveness.
