Current research suggests that our microbiome is important and that certain bacteria may be one of the causes of IBS development. When patients experience an episode of acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning this can alter the microbiome in the small bowel and often triggers post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS), usually the IBS-D sub-type.

ENTEROSGEL® gently removes inflammatory chemicals, bile acids, toxins, histamines, mediators produced by mast cells, dead bacteria, other harmful substances that cause to imbalanced gut symptoms.

Oral intestinal adsorbents such as Enterosgel have been shown in scientific tests that they can capture toxins released from bacteria such as E.coli, Shigella and C.difficile. Thereby decreasing their impact on the gut and reducing the duration of diarrhoea in but microbiome imbalances.
