Designs for Health GI Revive - Slippery Elm Gut Health Support with Licorice Root, L-Glutamine + Zinc Carnosine - MSM, Marshmallow Root Powder + Okra Extract (210 Capsules)

Been using this for 3 years now to alleviate bloating and my gut health- game changer!

My 11 year old just went through one heck of a year with debilitating chronic stomach pain, weight loss and subsequent panic attacks from the pain. It took 11 months until we figured out he had chronic moderate gastritis with duodenal ulcers caused by H. Pylori bacteria. His GI doctor recommended going the traditional route of dual antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors. I’ve learned through a HP support group on FB how harmful and purpose-defeating that that drug combo can be for conditions caused by HP. I did decide to give him one round of antibiotics but used the GI Revive in place of the proton pump inhibitors to help heal his gut. Short of calling it a miracle, he has had very little complaints about his belly hurting. And when he did, we were on a two week break from GI revive. So I’ve been giving him a “maintenance” dose every other day. Initially we did start with every day dosing. We mixed it in a vitamin water or sports drink. Once you get past the look of it, it’s not too bad. He’s been taking GI revive, a daily probiotic supplement and a shot of kombucha every day. He seems to be doing great! He seems like he is even starting to gain weight and getting some “meat” on his ribs. I truly believe that GI revive is playing a vital role in his healing (and I used to be a homeopathic skeptic).

Well, I finished one bottle of that, it took a month and I could tell I was slightly getting better along with my Custom Probiotic’s 11 strain powder. I can’t tolerate my Klaire probiotics that are probably better darn it but they will stay in the fridge for when I heal. The job is not done so I had to order more and I just put it on AutoShip because I bet it’ll be like everybody else and require a 3 to 6 month healing journey. Take it from me and 10 years of suffering find out exactly what’s going on in your gut with a Genova leaky gut test, and the OAT test to see if you have pathogens in your gut. I always thought it was just candida albicans and leaky gut but turns out a lot of people have clostridia infections. Get to the bottom of the problem so you can go from there don’t suffer long-term like me, which really messes your gut up on top of your whole life. And the entire family suffers. I did buy some extra glutamine powder to take with it as I heard you need 3 to 5 g daily and this doesn’t have that much. I used Klaire labs for that but I bet Designs for health is good too. They both are good companies.

I love how my digestion and stomach feels while taking this supplement.

I felt that my 1st review didnt do this product justice so i updated it. I will preface my review by apologizing for my life story here but i think its important to provide the background info in order for someone else to understand how much of a BIG deal this simple supplement has been for me. Its unbelievable to me on how this supplement has literally cured some chronic issues i have been dealing with for more than 2 years. My quality of life has improved immensely and i am so grateful i decided to try this supplement.I never had any major chronic issues in my life until after i had requested a colonoscopy from a gastrologist. The request was for preventive care and not because i had any major underlying issues. All results were pefect but for some reason, after the procedure, i had developed IBS, extreme acid reflux, nausea, feeling sick, headaches, gastritis symptoms, constant abdominal tenderness and pelvic pain. For more than 2 years, i never had a normal BM and always had upset tummie issues after eating and always feeling sick to my stomach. I could no longer eat or drink certain things without paying the price later. These symptoms were every single day and stopped suddenly after taking GI Revive. Before this supplement, i had returned to the GI Dr. More than 2 years ago to inform them that i all of a sudden had developed brand new issues after the colonoscopy procedure but the doctors in the office gave the impression that they were unfamiliar with such a situation and offerered no suggestions or options that sat well with me. Not getting the help that i needed, i ventured into a medical adventure seeking out several other gastrologist and doctors. I spent thousands of dollars over the course of 2 years conducting dozens of tests including blood work, stool tests, UAs, SIBO test, Ultrasounds, MRIs, Catscans, Xrays, follow up Scope etc.. and no one could pin point or tell me why or how i could go from having a perfect digestive system to the total opposite at such a younger age and healthy individual. All these dozens of labs/tests and there was no evidence of infection, tear, diffieciency, or anything noticebly wrong with my intestines, stomach, or organs etc.. only the new obvious GI issues. All of this only occuring after having a preventive colonoscopy and never ever 1 ounce of these symptoms beforehand. Staying active and changing my diet and eliminating certain foods did not help. Trying several Pre and Probiotics didnt help. Trying another supplement from this same company 2 years ago called GI Microb X had seemed to relieve the symptoms a tad but did not fix them and they resorted back to being full blown after stopping that supplement. I declined prescription medications as i usually have side effects with them and i dont like the idea of being on a maintenance med.After getting dozens of medical opinions with no real answers or findings, I was finally convinced that there was nothing i could do but just live and deal with these issues. I had just laid the seeking to rest and dealt with feeling sick everyday for almost 3 years now. My work and general life was interrupted and i admit this also took a toll on me mentally. I regret ever asking to have a colonoscopy done and i realize now how dumb i was for trying to be careful in the preventive sense. Or perhaps just unlucky.Now, Ive been educated to know that correlation does not always equal causation but considering the fact that i never had any medical conditions or issues prior to the colonoscopy, i am 1000% sure that the bowel prep or procedure itself (maybe both) caused some imbalance in me and some doctors also shared the same opinion but i understand now theres no way to prove it. I question if anyone else has ever been in my situation and also question the legitimacy of such procedures now.I had done tons of research on my symptoms and never found a case relative to mine which is mind boggling. I did come accross early in my research on a disorder called Leaky Gut Syndrome but had dismissed it. I realize now that was an early mistake. After taking this supplement and having my symptoms relieved, I am convinced Leaky Gut is what i have or had. Its my understanding that Leaky Gut is a loose term thrown around the medical industry without being fully accepted or backed by sufficient research. I assume this will improve in the future as this disorder was never mentioned to me during this whole medical nightmare. I had to discover this myself and then coincidently, find this supplement called GI Revive which targets bettering intestinal permeability. Im so glad i made the choice to buy this because the price almost deterred me.Now finally to discuss the actual supplement:I started GI revive on September 14th 2020 and it took about a week for me to notice a difference. I was taking only 5 a day even though the bottle says 7 is a serving size. 3 caps in the morning and then 2 in the afternoon before food and with plenty of water. I noticed that i was no longer having abdominal pain and the acidy feeling in my intestines was subsiding. I could eat food without feeling nauseated. My BMs are much more regulated and normal. Surprisingly, i have also noticed that my blood circulation, arms and leg pain has vastly improved and diminished. A constant eye pain and pressure headaches are also gone. I realize now after doing research on the ingredients of this supplement that all of my symptoms are related to Leaky Gut and are what this supplement focuses on improving. I never thought to correlate my eye pain and circulation problems to such a disorder but i know now how big of an impact the digestive system has over everything else on the human body. It cant be a coincidence that nothing has helped me in these past 3 years and then i randomly decide to pop these capsules and Boom! Every problem i had is magically gone! Its literally hard for me to still grasp this but i am thankful to Designs for Health for creating this supplememt. My life and wellbeing feels like its back on track and i couldnt be happier.The weird part is that i wasnt even able to take this for a full 30 days. I had to stop this on October 1st so i only had this about 15 days in my system and yet the positive effects are still kicking. I had noticed in the 2nd week that i was feeling extremley weak and fatigued especially in my arms and my heart was intermittently racing uncontrollably. I had went to an urgent center and they took several readings of my blood pressure and they were elevated. Bloodwork, a UA & EKG looked normal i also saw another Dr since the one i went to had a limited CBC test but those blood tests were normal as well. After stopping this supplement on Oct 1st, about 4 days later, those symptoms subsided. I was unsure if it was actually the supplement that made me feel that way so i had taken just 1 a few days ago and I did notice again later in that day that heart palpitations were back. I had also seen another reviewer post this so i know im not alone with this side effect. For now, i am not taking GI Revive but i probably will resume taking 4 a day soon so i can finish the bottle. In my case, i think the side effects are worth it even though they seem kinda serious. I had reached out to Designs for Health at the phone number on the bottle and got in touch with a clinician who was real nice and professional. She confirmed these were uncommon unheard of effects but stated she made a report to the FDA and i thought that was very nice and thourough. She also followed up with me and i had explained to her my dr visits. I had thought that maybe this supplement caused a potassium deficiency and it was causing me to feel weak and a racing heart but the findings were inconclusive on the cause. One of the ingredients are known to affect potassium levels (online research and confirmed by doctor) but i dont recall which. So, with that said, the customer service was top notch for me and it made this whole experience even better. I appreciate that the company showed a genuine concern.Even though i had some negative side effects from this supplement, im not going to hate on it for that as i know its probably just me and my own hypersensitive physiological make up. At least i have an idea of some type of ingredients that help me in my situation. This supplement has done more for me than what a handful of doctors, tests, and thousands of dollars couldnt even come close to. I have a much better realistic outlook on the medical industry now.If you also suffer from some similar digestive issues that i have, perhaps talk to a doctor and mention this supplement and see if they recommend it. I would definetly give this supplement a try. Dont let the price deter you. Also, If leaky gut wasnt a topic, bring it up to them and get their opinion on it. The positive results of this supplement has opened my eyes to the disorder and I wish that the doctors i had seen long ago knew about it or brought it up with me so that i couldve started GI Revive or something similar 2 years ago. Do your own research on this supplement and if you're taking other medications, talk to a doctor, i did find online that some ingredients may interact with other maintenance meds.Again, sorry for the long story, it wasnt easy and a bit embarrassing but i hope this info helps someone else out there.My GI track is Revived! Thank you DFH and Amazon :) !

I tried to find something less expensive, but nothing i trued comes close to being as good as this product. I'm sold on it!

It's really disappointing when sellers don't stand by their products. I understand that supplements work differently on individuals, but when spending this kind of money on pills...you should at least be able to get your money back if they don't work for you.That being said, I started with the suggested dosage of 7(yes 7) capsules every morning and it wrecked my digestion. I have Sibo, Celiac and some parasites so my doctor recommended this. After cutting back to 2 pills a day and taking a break from the first bout of sickness, I still can't take it without increased bloating and discomfort.Again, I see that this works for many customers, but it would be nice to get my money back after 2 weeks and no luck at all.

Working great for my leaky gut
