Patients often state that these symptoms were never previously chronic. As time passes, additional symptoms emerge, while existing ones worsen. Among all finding, gastrointenstal symptoms stand out, usually with an alteration between constipation and diarrhea, constant gas and bloating, abdominal pain, inability to lose weight, and later, severe constipation. All these gastrointestinal problems seem to be an expression of chronic malabsorption. Additional symptoms are listed in Table 1.
Physical examination reveals few objective signs.
The clinical improvements as noted in Table 2, are those after introducing Flora Balance to the treatment regimen, and represent results which I feel are attributable to this product. The bacteria in flora balance is Bacillus Laterosporus, which is aerobic and spore-forming, and is sometimes found in the human intestine in very small numbers. After one month, they went to one tablespoon Flora Balance in one oz. of water, once a day. Improvement in symptoms, expressed as a percentage, after an average of one month on Flora Balance, are listed in Table 2. It is obvious from my clinical experience that a certain personality state predisposes to this condition.
