Customer Testimonials
"I have tried SO many products for IBS and these sachets are perfect." - Mrs B. McClare, Warlingham
"I took For a flat stomach and it was brilliant. It didn’t dissolve properly but the effect was great. It did exactly as the name suggested and I felt as if I’d lost 10lbs! It would definitely be a product that I would like to use regularly." – Lara, Hampshire
“After reading the pack, I could relate it to how I very often feel after eating: stomach spasms & severe pain. I liked the idea of For a flat stomach being a sachet to mix into a drink. After the first week I can honestly say I felt an improvement, my stomach felt more relaxed and I didn’t have to run to the bathroom as often. I am now on my fourth month and would recommend it with confidence” - Gloria, Derbyshire
“I used For a flat stomach for the week as instructed and found it very palatable in water and juice. I have taken probiotics before and as I didn’t need to keep it in the fridge – it was a big bonus. Also the fact that you take the sachets for one week out of each month – it is much easier to remember! After using it for the first month - I felt much better – less gas and air in my system, flatter stomach and no digestive problems. I have just bought another box of For a flat stomach and started it again today. I am very happy using it – I can’t remember the last time I bought 3 boxes in a row over consecutive months” -Denise, Surrey
"I found For a flat stomach very good – my stomach is always quite bloated and it did help – I also noticed that it started to clear the eczema on my leg so just about to buy my next pack – great stuff” - Kelly, Northern Ireland
“3 months ago I found & used For a flat stomach, after years of the frustration and desperation of feeling and looking bloated, the relief of having a flat stomach every day is truly liberating. Over the last 3 months I’ve used For daily digestion for 3 weeks, then For a flat stomach again for a week when I’ve noticed the bloating begin to return. Others I’ve been recommending For a flat stomach to have been similarly delighted. What a relief!! Thank you OptiBac!” - Carol, South Devon
“For a flat stomach is great. I have a major problem of flatulence that is rather embarrassing. It really doesn’t matter what I eat I always produce a lot of gas the next day. I was almost becoming food-phobic. Then I started taking For a flat stomach. My bowel movement became regular and amazingly my flatulence problem reduced and is almost eliminated. The improvement was amazing considering the fact that I have tried using things like activated charcoal, sodium alginate, sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate etc. For a flat stomach is great” - Abiola, London
Recent research on Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Bloating
A multi-strain probiotic preparation reduces symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome – September 2008 - This double-blind placebo-controlled Clinical trial by Williams E, et al. treated 52 adults with two species of lactobacillus and two species of bifidobacteria for a period of 8 weeks. Results showed that the probiotic supplements made considerable reductions in the severity of IBS symptoms. Individuals on probiotics saw a reduction in days with pain, and reported a significant improvement in quality of life and satisfaction with bowel habits.
Lactobacillus acidophilus & body weight and leptin expression in rats - February 2008 - This study by Sousa et al at the University of Georgia, Athens, reported that rats administered with the probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus showed weight loss in comparison to rats that were not given the probiotics. Injecting acidophilus supernatant into the Central Nervous Systems of the rats led to greater expression of leptin, a protein hormone that decreases the appetite and quickens the metabolism.

Probiotics ease stress-related gut problems - January 2008 - Leading probiotic company, Lallemand led a double-blind study that randomly assigned either probiotics or placebos to 75 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 60. Participants given the probiotics Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52 and Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 reported a significant reduction in abdominal pain and nausea or vomiting compared to participants given placebos. Authors of the study at Lallemand commented that this probiotic supplement could work on the intestinal microbiota, the epithelial barrier, and the immune system in order to improve problems in the gut which were induced by stress.

Prebiotics help to avoid weight gain in adolescents - October 2007 - A study published in the Journal of Pediatrics and conducted at the Baylor College of Medicine stated that especially during puberty, an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure can cause weight gain and possible obesity. The study, involving 97 healthy adolescents, gave participants either inulin/oligofructose (FOS) or a placebo for the period of a year. Results showed less increase in BMI amongst the group given prebiotics, with considerably lower body weight and body fat mass in these participants compared to the controls.
