Pro-Ven Biotics Study

For the first few days I took these before breakfast, only because I like to drink tea with my breakfast and thought this would affect the absorption . But I felt a strange sensation, like an elastic band pinging on the inside of my belly button! Not painful, just weird like a spasm so have since been taking with breakfast and drinking a herbal tea instead. Haven’t noticed any changes other than I think it’s making me windy! But I know it’s still early days.

My stomach discomfort has eased a bit. And actually thinking abut it I have been a bit more regular x

I'm finding that my sleep quality has improved - certainly not perfect, but definitely improved and in the last week I'm finding that the length of sleep has improved more so also.  Altho I am still waking early and sometimes waking in the middle of the night needing a pee and also as soon as I'm awake ruminating awful longstanding trauma based thoughts prevail.  I'm still having very loose poo's every day also.

I’ve noticed I have more energy and my nails are stronger and growing better than before taking this supplement. Also, any wind I usually get is less gassy and my bowels are regular going once or twice a day. However, I’ve noticed I feel more irritable not sure related as I’m on HRT, possibly conflicting with other medication. 

I am just feeling so much better taking these my digestion and mood are improved. Much less bloating and wind which is great! I have had to travel a bit for work in the last couple of weeks which I usually find stressful but this time is was a breeze even though it was very hot and all the trains were delayed.

I haven’t really felt much different since starting. 

I'm really surprised to see how many upset stomachs are being reported, I've had no difficulty at all. Before starting these I've had really terrible wind for months and, although it's early days, I was much better from only a few days after starting, which is a huge deal for me. 

I think my mood is slightly better too, although that's harder to judge in the short term. If my wind continues to be resolved like this I will definitely keep taking them!

I'm still having looser faeces twice a week or so, and diarrhea about once a fortnight,  and definitely more flatulence than usual, although none as bad as it was for the first couple of weeks. I can't really say I've noticed improvements in mood and sleep, but with all of that plus it's hard to keep the temperature in my flat below 30 at the moment, that perhaps isn't surprising.

I thought I was just having stomach issues these last few weeks but reading all the comments it might be this supplement 

I've been very gassy and I've been having to go to the toilet more than usual. It's more liquid than usual too

Makes it difficult when you are on the go and travelling 

I have been feeling bloated, which I guess could be a bonus as it stops me from eating or grazing

@laura-d Yes, I received it yesterday (Friday 26th)

I haven’t noticed much in the way of any changes in how I feel but I have had a lot more gas than normal since taking these and possibly going to the toilet more frequently than before. I feel slightly less bloated but not massively so. 

I think I've had slightly more regular stools than previously, but haven't noticed any other changes. Hard to say on the sleep, since it's been so hot lately!

I replying to myself because I find it difficult to post correctly not sure what I’m doing wrong

ive notice I am more constipated than usual since starting tablets 

I’m definitely sleeping slightly better (despite the hot weather)  also my stomach is feeling less bloated. 

I do suffer from stomach pains (not sure of the reason why)  but this has also reduced since taking Pro-Ven  

@kat75 

I have defo noticed a difference in my finger nails. Perimenopause has caused my nails to become brittle and soft but since starting this study, I’ve definitely noticed my nails growing more and splitting less. 😁
