Metagenics CandiBactin-AR - Concentrated Aromatic Essential Oils - with Thyme Oil & Oregano Oil - Gut Health Supplements* - for Intestinal Microbial Balance* - Gluten-Free - 120 Softgels

Helped me get rid of my sibo and I’m so happy! I’m scared to ever stop taking these. I literally tried everything under the sun before the AR/BR combo that functional doc recommended to me. These along with a cleaned up diet, I feel a million times better and can finally button my jeans again. Also, I hardly ever fart anymore. When I do fart, they no longer smell. These are a bit expensive, but they work.

I decided to take this product because I know it's a great company and because of the study by Gerald Mullins, MD of Johns Hopkins that I read about on one of the reviews. It's google-able, so can be found online.I did a microbiome test by Thorne and they found that I had an overgrowth of some bad bacteria and yeast.So, I started taking this along w/some other products recommended by Thorne. [Pre-fiber, fiber, probiotics and prebiotics etc.]The thing about killing stuff in your gut is - it dies and then your body has to get rid of it. sometimes the body gets overwhelmed by the bad guys, even when they're dead. its called a HERX reaction. also google-able if you don't know what it is.so, if you feel badly after taking this product, it could be because of a HERX reaction and not because the product is faulty in any way. the opposite. its doing its job, ie killing the bad stuff.I would suggest starting slowly. 1 a day for a few days, then 2 a day if things are going ok.Also, food grade clay and food grade charcoal are also supposed to help get the bad stuff out. I'm not a doctor or medical professional. do your own research.I do detox baths, either clay + seaweed or epsom salts sometimes w/charcoal. that's a great way to detox because the bad stuff comes out your skin too, and it can get alot out in one bath.So, know that getting rid of the bad stuff in your gut takes a while. it's a marathon and not a sprint. start very slowly, work up to the suggested dose gradually.Since I did the test and have been following the recommendations and taking these products, I feel alot better, which means alot. I still think I have several more weeks to go, I'll get another microbiome test and see what that says.Best of luck!!

Very good product. Make sure you order the right one. I should have gotten the BR. This works!

I’m not sure if this is helping or not, but I like the solid gel pill form. I did notice that I was burping herb taste , but I’ve found if I take it at night that is not a problem.

I had just been diagnosed with SIBO and combined with my other issues I was so ill. The doctor prescribed Rifaximin but I have other conditions that react badly to antibiotics. So I asked for natural recommendations and they mentioned Oregano oil. I googled natural SIBO cures and saw a study on the National Institute of Health.gov website. The study listed both CandiBactin-AR and BR as alternatives. According to the study, they worked as well as Rifaximin. I ordered one and then realized I needed to have both, that they work together. I was a little taken back at the expense, but compared to $2,500 quoted by my Pharmacy for Rifaximin that my insurance would not cover and it is not approved by the FDA according to the Pharmacist, it was a good deal because I feel more energy. So much better than before, I still have some other issues, and it took a week to see results for me, I was praying so hard that it would work. I highly recommend this.

I got a bad acne breakout all over my chest and back after taking this for a few days. I stopped taking it and the acne cleared up immediately. After a few weeks I decided to give it a try again and after a few days the same thing happened, a bad acne breakout all over my chest and back.I’ve never had a reaction like this to anything else so I’m not sure what it is about this that caused the breakout but I can’t take it.

This is a potent and tolerable product. I had no issues when taking it and it is just like the older versions.

I took two bottles of this, in addition to two bottles of Candibactin BR and it definitely helped reduce chronic bloating and with the feeling of food sitting in my stomach all day.If I skip a day of taking these It's like all my normal symptoms return.It does not completely get rid of bloating that occurs with caffeine and/or carbs, soy, wheat, and other hard to digest foods. Overall I am happy with the product although I will not continue to take it due to the price.On my second round of Candibactin AR and BR I took capryllic acid, ac formula II and anatril for a couple weeks but they didn't make any difference in help with symptoms.Candibactin AR and BR work just well on their own without the additional supplements.
