I just want to let you know that after I received the first batch of Five Lac that I ordered, I took a sachet straight away. I was really surprised to find that there was some benefit within a few hours. My gut has been completely unmanageable for many months, and was bad before years before that. I have taken probiotics for many years, and have adapted and re-adapted my diet many times. Since taking Five Lac every day, my gut isn't wonderful, but it has improved greatly. It is less unmanageable, and I get pain only rarely now. I still stick to the diet that led to the least pain and dysfunction, but since taking Five Lac I have - daringly - being cooking and liquidising frozen cherries and consuming a small quantity of the quasi liquid once or twice a day without adverse effects. This is wonderful! Thank you,
