My son and I tried this but weren't able to tolerate something in the product. My son only tried it once but it caused behavior changes. I used it for two weeks and it seemed to help with digestive function but I had an allergic reaction and started wheezing which stopped when I discontinued it. We seem to have problems with almost everything so our experience would not be typical for most other people. My brother-in-law has had terrible digestive problems for years. He was bleeding rectally. Not spotting, but bleeding. Within two days of using intestimend, his bleeding stopped and he's been doing great for the last couple months. Enzymes, probiotics, etc... nothing else worked but this product. Sharon K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 We have used this product for absoloutely ages. My son experienced some sort of die off symptoms so we had to introduce it very slowly at only half a ml increase. He now takes 22mls a day and we refer to it as his 'sort him out' drink. Often he is not sparking quite as he should first thing in the morning but once he has had his drink it seems to clear him of whatever has built up in his system. Don't know how Terri from Brainchild would describe it but this is our non official description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I love your description, ! Intestimend is a sulfur-rich formula of glucosamine, chondroitan, MSM, NAC and a few other things, designed to help sulfate the gut lining (GAG's), and it also contains slippery elm for soothing the inflamed intestinal tissues. So it's used for intestinal support, sulfation support, inflammation-calming, things like that. I'm guessing why it helps 'sort out' 's child is by pretty rapidly calming some inflammation in his gut. We have some customers who use it as a 'rescue' formula to calm things down if their children have a dietary infraction, and others who give it daily or on a pulsed (on-and-off) schedule to help with leaky gut. It's a sweet, mild-tasting liquid, with a slight herb taste - most kids like it quite well. My son, a classic leaky gut kid who doesn't respond much to diet or enzymes, takes about 1.5 ounces a day of it along with his liquid vitamins and minerals, and we like it a lot too.
