hi,

i am still taking the veggie supplement - but, i stopped itching within 4 days!
(previously, i was itching all the way from front to back - and in between.)

the instructions are to take 2 with each meal. but, i found that i only needed 3 in the entire day.

and, now (3 weeks later), i don't even need 3 - i am down to 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch. (i don't find that i need 1 with dinner - and if i do take that 1 i have some heartburn at night - so i have stuck to the 2 early in the day.)

hard for me to believe to, but, this supplement helped every health problem that i have.... so, i do think that if would help ibs too.

and, the reason i think that some people don't get well is because most of the supplements contain several ingredients - and some of them aggravate the problem.

for instance, any time i use a supplement with added enzymes - i experience itching after i urinate. anytime i use a supplement with magnesium i itch after having a bowel movement.

so, i would suggest using this product alone.

it wasn't until i used this supplement containing only one type of food (veggies) did i note real sustained progress.

plus, don't write off this supplement just because it is simple - these veggies are alkalizing, contain minerals and natural enzymes. that's actually quite a bit of power.

i understand your frustration -

i tried over one hundred products until i realized that i was reacting postively to some the ingredients in them and negatively to the others.

it took all this time to sort out what did what to me. but, over 6 years i have discovered that i need to alkalize, add vegetables and minerals - and nothing else - or it will cause either urinary, vaginal or anal itch - or all of the above.

this supplement is veggies only - they alkalize, contain minerals, and only natural enzymes.

the only other thing that i feel safe to add at some later point might be a food containing a probiotic -but not a supplement that someone has added a whole pile of addtional stuff to.......

p.s. perhaps these veggies caps are more concentrated than eating the foods separately - and that is why you are not getting the same results with just the food.
and, then again, perhaps you are mixing in other supplements that contain items that you personally do not get along with - and are not aware of. this is what i was doing for 6 yrs....

my major symptoms were intense itch! (urinary, anal, vaginal), plus, completely exhausted especially after every meal (insulin resistant), constipated, muscle weakness, abdominal pain, and the list goes on and on........

i will list some of the things i tried, but, i can't even remember them all.........

gse, garlic, enzymes, betaglucan, probiotics, various mixes of all the previous, every candida formula on the web (at least 40), several candida creams from the web, essential oils, yogurt - used everywhere, the one day pill (dyflucan), the 3 - 7 day perscription creams - did this multiple times, vitamin c, magnesium, progesterone, estrogen (several types), Sea Salt , diabetic (and many other) multivitamins, dandelion.

i explored nearly every possibility.

and, all of the above had an effect! some made the pee itch go away, but increased the anal itch. some made the pee itch much worse, but addressed the anal itch. it was very frustrating to sort out what had what effect!

for instance, i realized that enzymes caused pee itch and magnesium caused anal itch. fruit made my urine acidic and the itch would become way more intense.

over time, i realized that i was too acidic and needed to alkalize. plus, i also saw improvement when i used minerals (sea salt) - but couldn't handle that sodium...
so, i tried the veggies - they contained everything that i needed, alkalizing foods, minerals, and only a small amount of natural enzymes - with no extras! - and that worked.

I just got a hideous attack of the itchies in the form of a major yeast infection and was advised by a close friend to get on a candida diet. He also said that diflucan can compromise one's liver. Just wanted to share that. Good Luck all. Those veggies sure sound worth adding in. It's the cheapest solution I've seen and it sure dosn't seem possible to cause harm. Tnx, I can't wait to try it!

you're welcome.

i am only doing this because i promised myself that if i was ever cured that i would relay to others what helped me - and not just leave the forum.

just take the veggies alone, with no other supplements, for one week, and see how you do.

and, please let me know.
