Acidity, bloating and feeling unlike herself
Naina rated acidity or burning in the stomach 5 out of 5 and bloating after meals 4 out of 5. She also said she did not feel like herself mentally or emotionally (5 out of 5), caught colds and infections easily (5 out of 5), had allergies (4 out of 5) and slept badly (4 out of 5). She had taken antibiotics, painkillers and antacids in the recent past. Her stated worry was a bloated stomach.
Mind and gut first, then digestion
With acidity, bloating and a strong sense of not feeling like herself, we began on the gut-brain axis. The first two weeks used B. longum 1714, L. helveticus R0052, L. plantarum PS128 and B. longum BB536, with guar gum and galacto-oligosaccharides (200 mg) as the prebiotics and magnesium (60 mg) to relax gut muscle. The next two weeks used L. helveticus, L. gasseri, B. animalis and L. brevis with pectin to broaden microbial diversity.
We moved to digestion and bloating itself: L. rhamnosus GG, B. lactis and two L. reuteri strains with digestive enzymes (amylase, protease and lipase) and acacia fibre, alongside B. animalis, L. rhamnosus GR-1, L. reuteri and L. gasseri with a high dose of partially hydrolysed guar gum (1 g), a fibre that feeds them with little gas.
What we observed: about three weeks into this month she wrote that everything was good, with no bloating and no digestion problem, and no side effects.
We continued with the diversity blend and the digestion blend.
What was reported
No bloating, no digestion problem
“Everything is good no bloating and no digestion problem.”
She added that she had no side effects from the sachets.
The evidence
Naina had rated bloating 4 out of 5 at the start. About seven weeks in she wrote that she had no bloating and no digestion problem, and that she felt good. This is one participant’s own report, so we treat it as an encouraging early signal, She has since completed the programme. This page reports her week 7 update, the last outcome message in her chat.
