Pure EncapsulationsMotilPro | Hypoallergenic Dietary Supplement to Promote Healthy Gut Motility* | 180 Capsules

Here's a gentle but effective formula that helps keep digestion moving without harsh laxatives. The ingredients work together to support the nervous system’s role in gut function, which makes it useful for motility issues. I also like that Pure Encapsulations keeps its products clean and hypoallergenic.

This product is certainly on the more expensive side, and it sucks that the serving size is three capsules because it's sometimes inconvenient. However, I think for the purposes of improving gut motility and even reducing inflammation, it is very helpful. This, in tandem with magnesium glycinate/citrate, has been incredibly helpful in improving my bowel movements and preventing constipation. I didn't find the after-taste to be at all disagreeable, you can taste the ginger but it is not something overwhelming. The good thing is that while the serving size is 3 capsules, it contains 180, so should last you nearly two months if you take the serving size once a day.

Although some people have complained that these cause a burning sensation, I would describe it more like the sensation you would get when swallowing strong peppermint oil pills. Yes, these are strong. You also need to make sure you drink plenty of water since they do seem to have a tendency to feel like they "stick" half way down when swallowing them. I actually like that warm feeling I get in my stomach. To me, it feels soothing, like they are helping to break up that full, bloated feeling as though all your food is just sitting in your stomach like a rock and not moving or digesting. People have a tendency to be vague when describing digestive issues, worrying they are sharing "too much information" but this doesn't serve those who are looking for help to specific problems they may be facing. I have had SIBO and lean towards constipation. I think these help move things along preventing any recurrence of SIBO. Ginger is known to be a great digestive aid and I feel taking 3 of these before bed each night have helped with motility and soothe what can be an otherwise painful condition. I hope this helps those who are looking for feedback that addresses this type of problem.

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.
