MotilPro Gut Motility Support

The ginger-based formula is an immediate solution for congestion and constipation. It helps overcome the loss of intestinal mobility in the colon, making bowel movements easier.

I really WANTED and tried to like MotilPro prokinetic and stay with it to treat my SIBO and ensure my motility was on track, however, I was not able to tolerate it. And with testing on/off use I am sure it was a MotilPro reaction. I was, at times, taking it with Xifaxan and Neomycin, but at other times was taking it alone with no other medications to interfere with it. I took it for 4 weeks beginning with 1x / day, and slowly increasing to 2x, 3x per day over the four weeks. I took a dose before bed because I read that is the ideal time to take prokinetics before intestines do the middle of the night 'sweep'. I began to have symptoms during the night including: waking during night, dry *dry* mouth, gulping air down from the base of my neck, extreme thirst after drinking loads of water, trouble swallowing saliva, winded / out of breath, tossing/turning, sensation of my whole torso-body pulsing with my heartbeats, sensation of my heart working much harder than it should be - aware of my heart working rather than just being at peace and not being aware of it. I told my doctor and stopped taking it... I gave it a rest for 4 full days, and my body returned to a more normal feeling, I wasn't aware of my heartbeat and weird chest energy anymore. I returned to normal sleep patterns, normal breathing, swallowing, everything. Then I started it again slowly just 1x day on a Monday, and Tuesday. By Wednesday, I had to call in sick to work and sleep half the day. I was utterly exhausted, total body fatigue. I had trouble swallowing again, heart working harder again, hear my heartbeat in my ear when I'm sleeping, I wake up gasping for breath, I stopped breathing in my sleep on more than one occasion and was terrified - consciously willing my lungs to please start breathing, dry mouth, headache deep inside the back left quadrant of my brain, shallow fast breathing, yawning to get more air, bad exterior ear sensitivity pain laying in bed, energy felt off, felt like I'd been poisoned. My doctor and I agree I can't tolerate it and I've stopped taking it again. I'm not writing this to slam the product, and I take other pure encapsulation products fine, but as feedback to share with you that you MAY also have a poor reaction, and to be aware to tell your doctor if you do. You're not just taking a benign little ginger supplement. If I had to guess (which I do), I would say I have some problem with 5-HTP and you may want to do some reading on it first. I don't know if it caused Serotonin Syndrome in me or not, but I am wondering. If you google 5-HTP you'll find some cautionary statements about possible side effects. I wish someone had told me about that first and what to watch out for before I bought it, so I'm doing it now here in the hopes you'll also do your homework for your own health and safety. In hindsight, once it started bothering me, I should have completely stopped and not kept continuing to try to power through it and give it another chance.

This stuff worked in 3 nights of taking it for SIBO. My pain is gone and I am on the mend with a new diet and MotilPro. I don't really understand what it does I'm just following the plan. I'm glad I did! I'm healed! Plus I trust anything that Pure makes!
