Metagenics - CandiBactin - AR 120 softgels

Thank you so much to the people who make this, you are my heroes. This product cleared my SIBO and restored my life. After 3 years of having SIBO and several failed rounds of Xifaxan and Antrantil I was preparing for a life of disability (at the age of only 30). Now, 3 months after treatment I’m feeling much better & am employed for the first time in years. I took the maximum recommended dose of AR & BR for 6 weeks. During those 6 weeks I felt worse than ever. After the 6 weeks were up I didn’t feel better at all and thought it hadn’t worked. To my surprise I tested negative on a breath test and in the following weeks began to slowly feel better with the most improvement occurring 4-8 weeks after treatment ended. 3 months later I’m feeling 90% better and am still improving. The side-effects are gnarly but push through.

I received what I ordered, and it is consistent with my previous order.

Good product

was very happy (and relieved) to receive these directly from the Metagenics company, both the AR & BR labeled with "Practitioner Exclusive" on bottles. I was a little bit apprehensive about ordering these off amazon. This will be my second time treating my SIBO unfortunately, after not following through with after treatment protocol and finding out I had an H Pylori infection which needed addressing first. But these REALLY work. I had hydrogen dominant sibo, and after about a week of detox and die off reactions, started feeling SO much better and all my histamine related issues vanished, eczema cleared up, most other symptoms and body systems started balancing. It seemed miraculous! I'm looking forward to retreating after H Pylori protocol and getting back to feeling good again :) These are strong and it's important to follow a protocol suited to you after treatment to heal gut lining and rebalance probiotic bacteria. My doctor had me take 2 of each 2x day with meals. I follow Dr. Nirala Jacobi's Bi-phasic diet. Things I highly recommend for sibo treatment and to do your research on: simple, natural *capsule free* prokinetics: -fresh ginger tea at least 2x day (between meals) -triphala powder, 1/4-1/2 tsp 2x day (between meals) continue prokinetics after treatment! bitters are also great milk thistle 150mg 1-3x day for liver/detox support consider biofilm breakers if severe sibo gas levels, but I don't think they're always necessary. note things like ginger, coconut oil, black cumin seed oil are natural biofilm breakers activated charcoal and/or bentonite clay for 4-5 days first week and third week of treatment to help "mop up" die off sacharomyces boulardii turmeric tea or supplement, taken with fat black cumin seed oil for histamine intolerance, also antimicrobial (make sure to eat lots of omega 3s, as it's high in omega 6) other things that really helped my histamine intolerance were lots of fresh herbs, quercetin, and Ancestral Supplements desiccated kidney (high in DAO, selenium) also if you're missing garlic on low fodmap/sibo diet, I make crushed garlic infused olive oil which is great to drizzle on things and also has antimicrobial properties the only things I have to complain about is the price of these on amazon is completely unreasonable. I got these from my doctor for ~$60-70 each, and would have again if it wasn't a long drive. also I REALLY wish companies, especially well researched driven ones like this would STOP using TOXIC fillers, excipients, coatings like hypromellose and magnesium stearate which is in the BR formula. but this is highly effective and treatment is WAY more important that avoiding those things.

My naturopath prescribed it take these when I had terrible candida and H. PYLORI, along with some other supplements. Never had the issues since, and I was able to wean off this eventually.
