For Irritable Bowel Syndrome
From Paula Z. in CA
"My sister opened my eyes to using Konsyl for IBS & other digestive issues. I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL enough for the immediate benefits that I have noticed. My GI Doctor told me to take Imodium®...what I have found is that I NEVER will have to take another Imodium® again! Using a natural fiber with NO CHEMICALS has changed my life! THANK YOU..I am forever grateful!"
From Jennifer Snyder, R.D.
A dietician finds fiber helps her IBS
"I first started to notice the symptoms of IBS at the age of 23, inconveniently
the same day my husband proposed to me. On a daily basis, I would experience
abdominal pain, cramps, and bloating. As a dietitian, I couldn't understand
why I was experiencing such awful constipation when I ate a near perfect
diet, rich in fruits and vegetables. As time passed, I noticed that the
symptoms would intensify during periods of high stress- even during my
wedding and honeymoon. While talking with a patient that had IBS, it dawned
on me that I was suffering from the same symptoms that she had. (Light
bulb!) I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome!
For my patients with IBS and constipation, I always recommend a high
fiber diet. But as a vegetarian, I knew I was eating about as many veggies
as I could handle in one day, and I wasn't feeling any better. So I started
to look for a good fiber supplement, and I found it in Konsyl. I like
that it has no extra fillers or artificial sweeteners that can exacerbate
IBS. I started taking 1 tsp. each morning before going to work, and my
IBS resolved immediately! I still take it once or twice a day and my symptoms
have completely disappeared. As a Registered Dietitian, I now recommend
Konsyl to all my IBS patients. It helped me return to a normal life,
and I'm sharing this story in hopes that it might help other IBS sufferers
as well."

For Constipation and Irregularity
From Caroline in GA
"Pregnant & constipated! Konsyl is working for me."
From J.W. in Lake Wales, FL
"I can't even put into words how Konsyl Original has improved my overall
quality of life. I feel better, I look better, my mood is more positive,
and at age 58 I am able to enjoy daily treadmill exercise, and doing some
serious yard work.
An emergency room doctor recommended Konsyl when I was suffering from
extreme irregularity. Now my wife & I both are glad we found your website
so we can order direct, and get an even better value. We have tried Metamucil®
and other fiber brands, that never really worked or were not dependable.
We will never go a day without Konsyl."
For Diarrhea
From Bob S.
"I have been using Konsyl since about 1994 or 1995 when it was recommended to me by my proctologist. He felt that I needed a bulk-building fiber supplement. (In short, I needed something that would slow me down, not speed me up). I have tried Metamucil® but it does not do nearly as good a job for me, principally because of the bulk-building property. I also think it is messier and more difficult to mix thoroughly than Konsyl is.
My wife and I have done a lot of traveling since we retired and Konsyl has gone with me on every trip.For travel, I prefer the single packets so now I use them every day. I also keep a canister of the Konsyl in bulk form in case I run out of the packets but that is probably no longer necessary since I became a preferred customer and get my shipments automatically every three months."
I am extremely happy with the preferred customer program and the 20% discount is very much appreciated. I would never consider using anything but Konsyl."

For Hemorrhoids
From Stephanie in West, TX
"I didn't think I would ever have a problem with hemorrhoids since I ate healthy with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and drank over 8 glasses of water a day. Unfortunately I developed an anal fissure and hemorrhoids and needed some relief from the pain. My doctor recommended that I use Konsyl along with other treatment for my condition. Konsyl works wonders on the digestive system."

For Diverticular Disease
From Lynn in MA
"My doctor recommended it. I have diverticulitis. For the first time in 40 years I've been regular!"
From Chris in VA
"I just suffered my first (hopefully only) bout of diverticulitis. My sister-in-law recommended your product as the best."
From George in Easton, MD
"About three years ago, I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. I had been experiencing sharp intestinal pain, stomach discomfort and a low-grade fever. A strong dose of antibiotics cleared things up temporarily, but then the symptoms reappeared several times in the next six months. My physician recommended a colonoscopy to determine the root cause of the difficulty. Given my age, the procedure was a sound idea, with or without the nagging symptoms.
While the results of my test did not show any serious complications, it did reveal a touch of diverticulosis. This explained the pain I had been experiencing.My physician suggested Konsyl, a fiber supplement, to help with the symptoms of diverticulosis. Konsyl pushes the food through my system more efficiently and keeps the intestinal pockets clean. It acts as an internal cleansing agent, but because it is 100% psyllium, I don't have to worry about what I am putting into my body.
I have adopted Konsyl as an integral part of my normal routine each
day. It has become an everyday habit. I take many hunting and fishing
trips out of the country and my physician always gave me an antibiotic
in case I had a flare up. Now when I go on a trip I do not take the
antibiotics with me. I just keep individual serving packets of Konsyl
in my duffle bag. They are extremely convenient and easy to use. Even
if you are not experiencing intestinal issues, Konsyl is a positive impact
for regular physical maintenance and for your well-being."

From Shirley in PA
"My husband had heart bypass surgery about 10 yrs. ago. His doctor recommended Konsyl. He has been taking it since then."
From Betty in GA
"My friend Laura started me on Konsyl and it has made a vast difference in my cholestrol numbers -- enough that when I stopped taking it for a time numbers went up. So the doctor said start back!! Laura's suggestion saved me from going on drugs!!"
