For Better Or For Worse, Even In #DigestiveHealth!


My husband suffers from stomach problems, which means that as his wife? I suffer from his stomach problems too!  No one is fun to be around when their stomach is upset, and it can also be embarrassing. Certain foods sometimes trigger an upset stomach for him, but not always.  Sometimes it seems to come out of nowhere. 

I eat a lot of yogurt, but unless it's the frozen variety with chunks of candy in it - my husband doesn't touch the stuff. In fact, very little in his diet contains the probiotics I keep telling him he should try.  But the reality is; he isn't going to.

Fortunately, I was sent a sample of Member's Mark 4X Probiotic, which is sold at Sam's Club.  It's to be taken once daily, and just so you don't forget {or so your spouse can double check and make sure you've taken your pill today...}, each 'sheet' of pills comes with the days of the week printed on the back. 

It took just under one week of taking the 4X Probiotic for him to notice a difference.  My husband said his stomach wasn't as 'rumbly' as usual, and that immediate and embarrassing need to run to the bathroom - sometimes right during a meal - decreased a lot. 

For some reason, my husband gets Strep throat fairly often which means he takes a lot of antibiotics.  His doctor said that probiotics can really help with the stomach problems caused by antibiotics and he definitely noticed an improvement in how he felt during this last round.

My husband has been taking Member's Mark 4X Probiotic for a few weeks, and we are looking forward to finding out of his digestive health continues to improve as he continues taking this supplement.  I will let you know.  Stay tuned!
