Biotics Research FC Cidal™ Herbal Blend Complete GI Gut Health for Women & Men- 500 mg/Serving - 7 Herbs Proprietary Blend Supplement Supports Healthy GI Function and Microbial Balance 120 Capsules

I used Biotics Dysbiocide simultaneously with Biotics FC-Cidal for SIBO and can say that (so far) this sh*t really works! I was diagnosed with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) after taking a lactulose breath test following a bad bout with food poisoning and multiple rounds of antibiotics afterward. Turns out the antibiotics cleared out my good bacteria leaving the bad to grow! Fast forward past a hellish 6 months of gas, bloating, digestive issues, and a newfound fear of food, and my gastroenterologist orders me to go on Xifaxan (rifaximin) to target and kill the SIBO. It worked, but only for 3 weeks. The SIBO came back (very common), and my gastro doc ordered me to go on herbal rescue therapy (the Dysbiocide + FC-Cidal combo). It's only been 4 days, but I'm feeling WAY better than I have in a long time. The testament? I ate a full Mexican cuisine dinner last night at a restaurant and had a SOLID stool today! Sorry to get graphic, but it has been loose for sooooo long! I have been on the low FODMAP diet (and feeling malnourished) for MONTHS afraid to eat any "unsafe" foods, but am now thinking I can branch out and eat high FODMAP foods like avocado and corn again without paying for it later.Reader be warned, there are side effects with the Biotics combo (as a result of bacteria "die-off"), but they're bearable in relation to what you (we) have been dealing with! These include extreme fatigue, insomnia (took 2 hours to fall asleep one night) some brain fog, and sinus issues/allergies for the first few days. I've had a little nausea, but it's not bad at all. It's day 4 and my stomach is not making noises like it was, gas feels fruitful like it used to, and the bowel movements are whole, smooth, and feel soooooo good again! I'll keep you posted on my progress as I've been instructed to be on the Biotics combo for 1 month. Feeling optimistic and now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You, too, can get through this. If this review even helps 1 person, it was worth it!

FIRST OF ALL: I am only 4 days into this treatment.. So my results are currently not final. But I just had to start the review.Wow.. After years of trying to cure my IBS-D.. Here's the answer! Long story short.. IT WORKS for SIBO/IBS-D! Have always had IBS-D - managed it with a probiotic.. Then I took an antibiotic for an infection from a spider bite. 2 months later and my quality of life had been completely diminished. Started loading on probiotics and Glutamine.. Helped.. But still had relapse. Symptoms; low stomach acid, tremors after eating, severe bloating, severe food allergies to even apples. (I'm 23 years old, male, and very active)After what seems like endless research I went down the "SIBO" route. Came upon XIFAXAN - went to try to get it from a specialist and he wanted to run blood tests and do an endoscopy first. Everything was normal. So he didn't want to prescribe anything. Found out online that FC-CIDAL + Dysbiocide is just as effective.So here I am.. Just 4 days later so excited about the future - excitedly writing this review.Current routine; 1️⃣ FC X 2 + Dysbiocide X 2 - TWO times daily - first thing in morning, then later in the evening.2⃣ 3-4 hours later I take Jarrow Plantarum 299v X 1 + HLC Probiotic Intensive X 1 - TWO TIMES DAILY3⃣ 10G of Pure Glutamine - TWO TIMES DAILYSIDE EFFECTS; CONSTANT - but mild nausea. And very mild constipation.LOOK FORWARD TO AN UPDATE IN 3 1/2 WEEKS!!! This routine is working wonders. I'm having cravings again, and very little bloating.

This company has my confidence. My functional doc sells this brand from his office. I don’t ever run into the product arriving with different ingredients than the amazon ad shows.

I have taken FC-Cidal and Disbiocide by Biotics Research. The two work well to cure SIBO. However you need to take this between meals and not with food. I've tried it both ways and found it didn't work when I took it with meals. You also need to lower your carbohydrate intake. This last round I discovered that sugar and fruit do not aggravate SIBO but bread products certainly do. I suspect simple sugars and fruit are absorbed before they reach the site of infection (distal small intestine) where bread products are still present and feed the bacteria. That would also explain my observation that if I eat a lot of non-fruit carbohydrates I develop SIBO again a lot sooner than if I just stick to fruit.If you go to a doctor for SIBO it can take 3 months just to see a gastroenterologist. Then it will take another month to get tested. The test has a high false negative response so you may have SIBO, the test shows negative, and the doctor doesn't do anything. Even if you show positive it will take another month to (maybe) cure with an antibiotic that wipes out your friendly bacteria as well. For less money and aggravation you can buy these two products (cheaper than the antibiotic) and cure yourself in a month. It's a no brainer. This doesn't wipe out your good bacteria either so it is a lot safer.

This works great for SIBO with the Dysbiocide but why is it suddenly double the price?? That being said, it is worth it, but frustrating. I take 2 pills from each bottle 2x a day as the study said. After about a week to 2 weeks, bloating was nearly gone, horrible constipation gone, and I didn’t change my diet. I take it for the full 30 days. It does come back so I end up taking it a few times a year. Absolute miracle after the recommended antibiotics for SIBO hurt my gut so much that I had to stop after a few days. Antibiotics wreak havoc on your gut!!

Great item, helped my gut feel better.

I was ultimately unable to use this product. My doctor had suspected that I had SIBO and insurance did not want to pay for the $2,000 medication. I saw online some peer reviewed medical journal articles where they had tried some natural supplements. This hurt my stomach so badly, I was unable to take it. I had to stop taking it after only a few pills. It was money that was wasted.
