This is a physician favorite to prescribe for those with irritable bowel disease. I personally have prescribed Intestinal Repair Complex to loads of patients with digestive problems; especially those with celiac, ulcerative colitis and food allergies. The patients do exceptionally well with this product and it tastes quite good. (Posted on 10/17/12)
Very effective product that treated intestinal problems that doctors could not figure out for 3 months. I am on a second bottle and I'm so glad I tried it. (Posted on 10/17/12)
Hi and thank you for your question. What are you trying to achieve? I figure intestinal repair because you're possibly fighting inflammation, but what is the damage caused from to begin with? This will help me better answer your question.
Thanks,
