    "I had an attack of Campylobacter last year. It was terrible. I suffered severe diarrhoea for 10 days - nothing was touching it (I was taking homeopathic remedies and Echinacea) and a desperate phone call to Mrs Glover in Edinburgh resulted in her sending me the OpticBac for Bowel Calm. After taking them, the symptoms abated within 12 hours, an amazing turnaround. I have a pack at home and am never going to go abroad without a pack in my luggage!"

    "I bought these probiotics for my partner who suffers with severe IBS and they appear to be working. He has been taking them for almost 2 weeks now. Please can you tell me if he can take these every day for life or are they just for when symptoms are extremely bad? "

    Reply from OptiBac Probiotics

    Dear Debbie, your husband can absolutely take For bowel calm on an ongoing basis. It's very safe and a lot of our customers do take it indefinitely, but your husband can take them to suit his needs, whether that's on and off or ongoing.
