David's Inside Story: "I've lived with IBS for as long as I can remember."

David's Inside Story: "I've lived with IBS for as long as I can remember."

I'm David Laughton, 53 years young, and for as long as I can remember I've had problems with my stomach. The doctors have always called it IBS.

I'm a prison officer and, although the job can certainly be stressful, I don't believe that's the cause of my IBS. It's something I've simply had to live with for years.

My symptoms were unpredictable. I had to be incredibly careful about what I ate and when I ate it. If I got it wrong, I'd end up with severe bloating and, at its worst, painful stomach cramps followed by diarrhoea.

Eating out was always a worry.

Like many people with IBS, I became an expert at researching where every toilet was... just to be on the safe side! It definitely knocked my confidence over the years.

"Nothing else had worked."

I'd tried plenty of different things over the years, but nothing had really made a noticeable difference. When I came across Ferrocalm, I spent time reading the research, the customer reviews and the case studies. I was genuinely impressed by what I found.

At that point I thought...

"What have I got to lose?"

"After just 24 days, everything started to change."

I've now been taking Ferrocalm for over 60 days. The first thing I noticed was after around 24 days the bloating had gone and then something happened that felt like a huge milestone...

I was going to the toilet normally again! Solid poo!

It might sound funny to anyone who hasn't experienced IBS, but for me it was an absolute game changer.

The pain has gone.

The days of cramping and being doubled over in pain have disappeared. I'm still sensible about what I eat, but taking one Ferrocalm capsule before my main evening meal has been unreal. I can even enjoy a drink without constantly worrying about needing to run to the toilet.

"I finally have my confidence back."

IBS has affected me for more than 30 years, but particularly over the last 20 and living with constant symptoms took its toll. I gained weight, I was exhausted and going somewhere new was a constant worry.  

Now I genuinely feel like I've got my life back.

"To anyone else living with IBS..."

If you're struggling with IBS, my advice is simple...give Ferrocalm a go!

I'd happily support anyone who's going through the same thing because we all know how difficult, and sometimes embarrassing, IBS can be.

I honestly believe in this product and to the Ferrocalm team... I want to say thank you - you have no idea what this has allowed me to do.

In fact...

I'm going to do a skydive.

Inspired by David's story?

Everyone's gut is different, but hearing real experiences from people living with IBS reminds us that things can get better.

If you've got your own Ferrocalm story to share, we'd love to hear from you.
