I am on day 7 and I have felt more bloated and the smell of my farts has become embarrassing and constant. I am not going daily but feel slightly constipated. I'm disappointed this is causing such bad gas, so bad that I do not want to continue the process. This is not heading in the direction I had hoped for. I don't feel any energy increase at all. Dissatisfied I waited so long to get it and the bad side effects of the stinky gas is just too negative to persist with this product.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Company Response from Chloe Lee
Hi Janeen, this is Chloe from ActivatedYou. I am very sorry to hear about your experience. However, when taking a probiotic, what you mentioned can be normal. Some customers may experience what is commonly known as die-off symptoms. Die-off symptoms occur when the bad bacteria inside of your body is killed off. The bacteria releases toxins which your body does its best to rid itself of, resulting in some unpleasant but short-lived side effects. Most customers do not experience this, but some may, depending on how much bad bacteria is inside your body. Die-off symptoms can include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, skin breakouts, and various other stomach flu-like symptoms. For most people, this can be anywhere from 2-5 days but this may last up to two weeks. I can assure you, however, that these symptoms are very temporary and quite normal whenever a big change is made to someone's diet, lifestyle, or even supplemental regimen. Other customers in similar situations have seen success by increasing their daily water intake and avoiding processed foods. As well as adding raw vegetables to your diet such as asparagus, garlic, dandelion greens, chicory root, artichokes, and onions. These vegetables contain natural prebiotics, which can greatly improve the effectiveness of your supplements. While most customers enjoy our formulas, we understand that they may not be for everyone. For this reason, we stand by our 90-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are unhappy with our product. It may be returned for a full refund. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to email me at chloe@activatedyou.com. Have a nice day.
