I have been struggling with three issues for last 6 years - IBS-C, Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Probiotics for IBS would drive my Histamine up and without Probiotics my gut wouldn't heal to allow for proper digestion. I had gotten used to stomach aches, difficult BM and lack of good night sleep for years. First day I took this with my lunch, it suddenly felt like my stomach was flat (i.e. I did not feel anything in my stomach at all as if there is a vacuum inside). I had some rashes (far fewer than I was getting with other probiotics though). But guess what, I had a perfectly normal digestion and BM the next day. First time in years. After taking it for a week, my stomach aches are 80% gone. Gassiness, heartburn - all that is gone. Sleeping well as well. Not worried about eating out or at parties anymore. Only thing I would add here - I do maintain low histamine diet and take half teaspoon of plain psyllium husk (not Metamucil / flavored, simple plain). God sent.

I purchased this for the specific strains of probiotics included. I also learned this mix/dosage is not as likely to have adverse affects for someone just starting a probiotic regimen. My experience is that this is true. Also, the capsules are much smaller than most supplements and much easier to swallow. On the whole I would recommend this for someone who wants to start a probiotic program slowly but surely rather than jump in at the deep end right away. Consistence is key however and you need to continue for some time before you can evaluate results overall.

The probiotic pill is small and easy to swallow.

Let me start by saying obviously talk to your doctor before starting any supplements. I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, MCAS, and have never been able to tolerate probiotics. After doing some research on MCAS I found this recommended through some of the MCAS Dr. blogs. I did not have high hopes, but I wanted to try some thing to improve my gut health. I started very slowly by opening the capsule and diluting in water. Started with roughly 1/4 of a capsule for a week moving up to 1/2 of a capsule the next week, 3/4 of a capsule the following week and finally up to one whole capsule. Your pacing may be different/even slower than mine. I did have some initial itching, but I simply increased my antihistamines, and it improved rather quickly. I’ve been on it for three months now and so far so good, but of course we are all different. I would be mindful about when your probiotic will be delivered. I’ve had Amazon drivers leave it at the wrong door and it’s been sitting out in the sun in over 70 degree weather. Just something to keep in mind. Best of luck!

It is an excellent probiotic for people concerned with histamine and we will appreciate to find it also in France at a resonable price.

I was really excited about this product due to it being good for histamine intolerance and MCAS and I know others mentioned they had a significant decrease in bloating but I instantly noticed I kept swallowing air unintentionally, which normally happens to me when I have gluten or yeast and now I’m extremely gassy as well. I don’t know if the shipping process was the issue bc it has to be refrigerated though it felt cold when I picked it up, but it does kind of feel like drinking kombucha or beer something that most ppl with HI or MCAS have big reactions to. Anyways I am really not feeling good and I am not as sensitive as others have mentioned really disappointed.

I'm a big fan of the Vitanica line for its vegan options, sure ingredients and overall quality. When taking the probiotic product I did not notice a considerable difference in my energy, or other pluses. I have since tried other probiotic products [refrigerated] and pre biotic that had a noticeable effect. This product may work better for other people or just as a supplement for those who feel "off" in their digestive track.

I have been dealing with a lot of gut and histamine issues. I was scared to try probiotics because of the chance of the issues becoming worse. This product was wonderful and didn't upset my stomach at all! I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants something to improve their gut health with no side effects.
