ENTEROSGEL is a tasteless, drug-free gel made of an organic mineral and purified water. In the gut it works like a smart sponge: it binds selected bacterial toxins, excess bile acids and inflammatory molecules, and carries them out naturally in the stool. It is not absorbed into the blood.

No — ENTEROSGEL is a CE-marked Class IIa medical device, not a drug. That is why it is often missed in searches for “IBS medicine”, even though it has been tested in a large UK clinical trial and relieves the global symptoms of IBS-D.

Common options include loperamide, which slows the gut to ease diarrhoea; antispasmodics such as Buscopan, for cramps; and low-dose antidepressants. ENTEROSGEL is a newer, drug-free option: in the RELIEVE IBS-D trial (440 patients at UK hospitals and GP practices, published in GUT in 2022) it relieved the global symptoms of IBS-D and improved quality of life. It is described as a first-line option for IBS-D in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology [confirm exact wording and year]. Speak to your GP or pharmacist about which option suits you.

Yes. In RELIEVE IBS-D, ENTEROSGEL relieved diarrhoea, urgency, bloating and tummy pain, and quality of life improved significantly during treatment; in the open-label phase 76% reported adequate relief of their IBS-D symptoms (GUT 2022).

In acute diarrhoea, studies found diarrhoea ended about 19 hours sooner in children (20 h vs 39 h; BMJ Paediatrics Open 2025) and the first normal stool came about 12 hours sooner in adults (BMJ Open Gastroenterology 2019). For IBS-D, take it daily for up to 30 days [confirm when most people notice a difference].

Stir one dose into a glass of water (or oral rehydration solution) and drink it, three times a day. Under 1 year: 2.5 g (½ tsp); 1–6 years: 5 g (1 tsp); 7–14 years: 10 g (2 tsp); 15+ and adults: 15–22.5 g (1–1½ tbsp). Acute diarrhoea: double dose on day 1 (up to 8 doses), then 3× a day for 3–5 days. IBS-D: on average 3× a day for up to 30 days. Leave 1–2 hours before or after other medicines.

Yes. ENTEROSGEL Kids 0+ is suitable from birth, and ENTEROSGEL can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it is not absorbed into the blood. Always read the instructions for use [confirm against the IFU].

Most people have none. Because it is not absorbed, it does not cause side effects in the rest of the body. Occasionally people notice constipation or mild nausea; drinking enough water helps.

Yes — leave 1–2 hours before or after other medicines so it does not bind them. If you take modified-release tablets, check with your pharmacist first [confirm].

No. ENTEROSGEL is selective: it binds harmful substances such as bacterial toxins and excess bile acids, not your good bacteria [confirm wording on vitamins and minerals].

Activated charcoal binds almost everything, without choosing. Probiotics add bacteria, but no one can say which ones your gut needs. ENTEROSGEL selectively removes the irritants first, so your own good bacteria can recover.
