PRO’s:•WORKS = Works Like Magic - If You need to go from Liquid output/stool to solid!•TIME = Works Fast (within 24hrs for me) - It’s a Life Saver when your insides want to be on Your outside!• TASTE = Does NOT taste disgusting (probably should have said, Tastes Good *lol*)• LITTLE = A Little goes a Long Way• NO BACKUP = Hard to over dose Oneself and end up constipated• FLAVORS - Comes in Orange, Pina-Banana, and Banana FlavorsCON’s:•COST = It’s not cheap, but it is WORTH IT!•BLENDING - I’ve never had it actually blend well with the milk, some always goes unblended so there are dry pockets and chunks, but I will choke+chomp/chew it down because it works, plain and simple!•FLAVORS - This is both a CON and a PRO - The Flavor isn’t strong, I mean You mix it with milk (or I do) and the flavor is not over powering or even that noticible.DETAILS:I came across this 1st when I was in the hospital & got C.Diff, which is a bacteria that makes You poo uncontrollably, makes Your poo smell weird, and it is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS (to the point You get isolated & anyone that comes into Your room MUST wear full protection from gloves to masks to gowns & trash it all as soon as they step outside!).It was ONLY when I started drinking this stuff that my poo went from Liquid to more solid/mushh and then solid, Thank Heaven!So, while I was in the hospital I needed up having an emergency Ostomy Surgery, and now have a permanent Ostomy. I Thank Heaven have NOT had C.Diff since I got out a year ago. HOWEVER, I ordered the BIGGEST CONTAINER of this stuff, because when ever my stool isn’t to my liking and gets too liquidy, I drink some of this & it sets things right in no time fast - like within 24hrs for me. I have NEVER had a blockage. I have NEVER had constipation after taking it.It’s supposed to be Banana Flavored, but I don’t really taste it. I saw there is a pineapple/banana & an orange flavor but I haven’t tried them yet.I probably don’t taste the banana flavor because I do not use a blender to mid it up. I just use about an inch of milk, dump the powder in stiit and drink. The powder does NOT combine well using this method *laughs* it is definitely gritty, but I still crunch and chomp it right on down! Because, You can’t argue with the RESULTS! It WORKS! And, I don’t fear I’m ingesting a bunch of chemicals like a lot of other medicinal items. Also, it’s Gentle enough that it’s hard to over dose Oneself, meaning it should be very dufficult to go from diarrhea to constipation!I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND this product! There is a reason I paid directly for it & bought the BIGGEST Container available!! Since I have this Ostomy for Life, I NEED this in my Life to keep things Solid, regardless of what I eat or how my meds influence my output!BUY IT! = NO REGRETS!!

It works from the first take.Wow, 2 year's of diarrhea, many lost underwear, and finally this really works stuff! No B.S.The taste is beyond awful,I mix with greek yogurt and good tsp of Vanilla. The vanilla really made it tolerable.

I am on my 2nd jar. It worked very well for the 2nd- 5th day, but now not so much. I ordered 2 more jars of it. When I opened one of them the scooper was not inside. A jar only last one week which makes this very expensive. Also causes a lot of gas on your stomach but worth it if it works for you. I don't particularly care for the taste, but I can eat it twice a day with applesauce.

Tastes good (I get the Banana Pineapple flavor). Not grainy at all. You do need to mix thoroughly (I use a mini whisk) but even with a few little lumps it goes down well. It's been very helpful with my IBS-D (much less diarrhea, more healthy, well-formed stools that are comfortable to pass). Thank you for an excellent product!

Havent been using long but so far its a miracle product for me. Usually roadtrips are dreaded - first time ive been able to enjoy hitting the road - and even eat along the way! This will become a much user product for me in general. The texture is not the best but worth it.

Reading other reviews, I knew I wasn't going to be able to dissolve this in water or nearly any other fluid, but in a stroke of genius, I mixed the scoopful in a glass half full of Sparkling ICE Coconut Pineapple zero calorie drink, and it actually tastes quite good. It's effective for calming nausea or diarhhea at bed time (I have colon issues), so it does what it's supposed to do. It is quite expensive, so there's that.

While the product works well, the container is never filled up. Seems like only half the container is used. A lot of money for this product.

My doctor recommend this for bowel movements, and it works. It is gentle and the flavor is wonderful.. I feel like I will be taking this for the rest of my life. I put it is smoothies each day..
