About EnteraGam®
EnteraGam® is a fine powder that can be easily mixed into at least 4 ounces of liquid (water or other liquid as preferred). Alternatively, EnteraGam® can be mixed with soft foods, such as pudding or yogurt. Some people notice management of their condition with EnteraGam® in as little as 2 to 4 weeks.1
EnteraGam® is not a probiotic
Probiotics contain live bacteria and may be sold without a prescription in grocery and health food stores as dietary supplements, drinks, or fermented foods. Probiotic manufacturers do not have to prove that their products are safe, pure, or potent.2
Probiotics add more bacteria to the intestinal environment. But they do not prevent the toxic substances released by bacteria and other microbial components from penetrating the lining of the intestine, which may contribute to abdominal discomfort, bloating, and chronic diarrhea and loose stools due to specific intestinal disorders.3,4
Probiotics may also be harmful for people who have a weakened immune system and are at risk of getting infections because their bodies cannot defend against illnesses or other medical problems.2
EnteraGam® is not an antibiotic
Antibiotics can also contribute to chronic diarrhea and loose stools by damaging the microbiome, which can lead to gut barrier disruption or leaky gut.5,6
How EnteraGam® differs
EnteraGam® uniquely binds toxic substances released by bacteria (and other substances called microbial components)7 that upset the intestinal environment. This helps prevent them from penetrating the lining of the intestine and causing problems. Importance of the Gut Microbiome can help you learn more about the intestinal environment.
In a clinical study, people who took EnteraGam® experienced fewer days per week with loose stools and other IBS-D–related symptoms, including abdominal discomfort and bloating. Some people notice management of their condition with EnteraGam® in as little as 2 to 4 weeks.1
EnteraGam® works only where it’s needed
Unlike some drugs that can affect the whole body, EnteraGam® is not absorbed systemically. This means that EnteraGam® works only where it’s needed in the gastrointestinal tract to manage chronic diarrhea and loose stools due to specific intestinal disorders, like IBS-D or IBD. It may also explain why EnteraGam® has:8
- No reported interactions with any other medications
- No reports of serious side effects
Plus, you can take EnteraGam® as long as you want (under a doctor’s supervision), and you do not need any special blood or monitoring tests with EnteraGam®. You also do not have to worry about bacterial resistance with EnteraGam®.8
