My 12 Week Bowtrol Probiotic Trial Results
- Regularity: Daily (Never before in my life!)
- Weight: 144 lbs (Lost 10 pounds!)

Needless to say, as skeptical as I was originally, I really love Bowtrol Probiotic and I foresee myself using it for a long time. In fact, I honestly believe that Bowtrol Probiotic is so effective that its going to become a leading, long-term digestive health solution, much like Proactive Skin Care for skin health. Actually, now that my 3 month supply is up, I just re-ordered 4 more bottles and I got 2 bottles free with this special promotion!
If you’re still a bit skeptical about whether or not Bowtrol Probiotic is right for you, read on for an in depth look into my experience with it over the past 12 weeks.
My Lifelong Struggle with Constipation (Before Bowtrol)
If you’ve been following my blog, you know that my dad, William McKey, tragically died of colon cancer in March 2008. Growing up, digestive problems were always common in my large Irish family, but I never thought anything of them besides the occasional embarrassing situation until they took my dad. I remember looking at my 3 children upset, confused, saying goodbye to grampa for the last time and, through my tears, I made a promise to god and myself that I would be around for my kids for a very, very long time. Moreso, like my father, I’ve suffered from chronic constipation for as long as I can remember and I didn’t want to live in pain and discomfort like my father had for years, so I took it upon myself to get educated about digestive health.
Over the following year, I tried everything. I began reading lots of books, talking to “healthy people,” visiting health food stores, etc. I tried all kinds of supplements, hocus-pocus snake-oil scams, etc., but nothing worked.
I was still constipated, only able to go to the bathroom 2–4 times a week.
I finally decided to take visit a proper nutritionist (not cheap!) who recommended I start eating more foods with probiotics, such as yogurt and kefir. In retrospect, I don’t think those foods actually helped my regularity at all, but I thought they were yummy, which was enough to ignite my interest in probiotic supplements. I went to my local, fantsy-pants health food store and asked them what was the best probiotic supplement they had.
I was pleasantly surprised that I no longer got severely constipated (4 days), but I wasn’t quite regular either, so I went searching for the best probiotics. Eventually, I ran into an old friend who I hadn’t seen in years (Hi Janet!), and I told her about what had happened to my father. To my shock, since I’d last seen her, Janet has survived colon cancer herself! As she was telling me her story, she mentioned a product that she still takes now that her cancer treatment is over, Bowtrol Probiotic. She gave it a raving recommendation and showed me where I could buy it online at a discount.
As great as it sounded, I felt nervous about buying Bowtrol online, but after checking out the webpage and doing some more research, I felt very confident about trying out Bowtrol Probiotic. Here’s why–
Why I Chose Bowtrol Probiotic
The prospect of buying supplements online made me uncomfortable. Prior to Janet’s recommendation of Bowtrol Probiotic, I’d simply never done it. Regardless, Janet’s recommendation was strong enough for me to go do some extra research. Here’s what I found–
- Reputable Company
The first thing I discovered is that Bowtrol Probiotic is made by the same reputable company as the extremely popular ad reputable Bowtrol Colon Cleanse (here’s a free trial if you’re interested). So I realized this wasn’t just some no name company.
Now here’s something you don’t see at the the fancy health food stores! This was the deal breaker for me. How could I go wrong if, worst case scenario, I’d get all my money back? And if that wasn’t enough–
- Great Customer Service!
One of the things I absolutely hate about ordering online is that there’s nobody to talk to if something goes wrong. I actually was having trouble with my credit card and I sent them an email and heard back almost immediately.
- MUCH Cheaper than Store Bought Supplements
It’s no secret to anybody that health food stores are expensive. They primarily target wealthy families, and frankly, I usually can’t afford their products. I was happy to find that I could buy Bowtrol Probiotic for 30%-40% less than store bought Probiotic Supplement prices.
Changes I Observed Over the 12 Week Bowtrol Probiotic Trial
Bowtrol Probiotic is primarily supposed to digestive regularity, but to my huge surprise, I found that this was only a fraction of the benefits.
- Digestive Regularity
This is REALLY exciting for me! My entire life, I have suffered from painful, humiliating constipation. At the beginning of my 12 week trial, I had a bowel movement every 2–4 days. For the first time in my life, I have daily regularity. Both my parents suffered from constipation their entire lives, and unfortunately that resulted in colon cancer, which took my dad’s life. I’ve gotten my mom (59 years old) on Bowtrol Probiotic and she LOVES it (scroll down to read her opinion below)
Fortunately, unlike my previous probiotic supplements, Bowtrol doesn’t cause gas, which has really been helping my social life
- I lost 10 pounds!
This I’m pretty shocked about. Nowhere on any of the promotional material for Bowtrol Probiotic does it promise weight loss, but it happened! My diet has remained pretty consistent. I do my best to cook healthy for the kids, but we have the occasional rice-crispies treats night
. I haven’t begun any kind of exercise program, just my regular periodic walks, so I really think it is the Bowtrol Probiotic. I’m still kind of in disbelief! 10 pounds!
My ex asked me if I was on some crazy diet when he came to pick up the kids last weekend. I just kept my mouth shut with a smug look on my face
- Dramatically Higher Energy Levels
I discovered is that being constipated is exhausting! First of all, I was literally carrying around several pounds of extra weight at any point in time. Furthermore, it turns out that the body exerts a lot of energy containing all of that waste, so by purging it regularly, it frees up the body to use that energy for other more pleasant activites.
On top of that, the probiotic bacteria actually help me digest food my food more fully and better utilize the nutrients in it, so I’m storing less of that food as fat and using more of it for energy!
- Better moods
With my increased energy levels, I’ve found my moods to be dramatically better. It’s so much easier to wake up in the mornings and daily chores and responsibilities are so much less of a burden.
- Better immunity
Good probiotic supplements help the body remove toxins that we ingest in food and generally help the body rebalance its immune functions. This little “side-benefit” has probably saved me at least 2 days of being sick every month. It’s Fall now so it gets really cold in those soccer bleachers, so I’m really enjoying staying healthy while the other parents are coughing and sniffling.
- Better Feminine Health
Sorry if this is blunt or unpleasant for the boys, but tough luck. There is a lot of “healthy bacteria” in the vaginal area that keep our lady parts healthy and balanced. For various reasons including medications, contraceptives, illness, etc., this balance can get disrupted and that’s when fun things like yeast infections happen. Bowtrol Probiotic supplement actually aids in maintaining appropriate levels of healthy bacteria down there so that yeast infections and similar problems are a thing of the past. Interestingly, I’ve found that my periods have also gotten slightly less dreadful. Certainly not a bad side benefit!
The worst thing about Bowtrol Probiotic!
I had to go shopping! Hello size 6!
Ok, so I didn’t have to go shopping, but I decided to celebrate by splurging and picking up this sexy little number:

My Mom’s (59 Years Old) Bowtrol Probiotic Review
Hi Suzy,
First of all, I wanted to say thank you for looking out for me after you dad passed away. Since we both had similar digestive problems when he was alive, it is a bit disconcerting to think that I may go the same way. However, over the past 4 weeks that I’ve been using Bowtrol Probiotic, I’ve been remarkably impressed with the impact its had on my regularity. Honestly, when you first told me that you were finally going to bathroom daily, I almost didn’t believe it. I thought of all those nights you cried after school because your were in discomfort, or were embarrassed because you had to stay home while your friends when out, and how it all broke my heart because there was really nothing I could do to help. We tried all of traditional approaches that my mom passed to me, such as prunes, and spinach and all kind of strange Irish concoctions, but in the long run nothing seemed to work.
For everyone that reads this, I would like to tell you one thing, I’ve suffered from 59 years of constipation and digestive troubles, and in 59 years, absolutely nothing has helped me the way that Bowtrol Probiotic has. Everyday I wake up feeling lighter and more rejuvenated than I have in years. The difference is truly dramatic, but gentle. I was worried that Bowtrol Probiotic, like many laxatives, may make me sensitive to certain foods and cause frequent diarrhea, but the effects of Bowtrol are far more gentle on the body.
My only wish is that I would have found this 10 years earlier, and maybe your dad would still be with us today.
Just as I’ve told my other 4 children now, anybody that has a history of digestive troubles, it is with utmost sincerity that I recommend you try Bowtrol Probiotic. If you are young, don’t wait until you are my age, and if you’re a fellow senior like myself, its not too late. Its very affordable with a 100% money back guarantee, so I can afford it, even on a widows income.
Suzy, thank you again sweetheart, I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I love you very much and keep you in my prayers every night. I’m so proud of you for taking the lead and doing something that is going to help all of our family and so many of your readers.
Warmest hugs and Kisses,
Your mom — Lillian McKey 10/19/08
