Can I expect die-off to happen?Updated 8 months ago

It is important to remember that every patient's experience using mBIOTA Elemental™ can be different, and it is often difficult to determine if any side effects are as a result of the elemental diet, bacterial die-off, or simply the original GI condition itself. In general, some patients report feelings of fatigue/brain fog, and some increase diarrhea around day 6-8 (usually green/yellowish in color), that can be thought to be attributed to bacterial die-off, but it is generally an indication that the product is working as intended. In many cases, it is possible that you could feel worse before you start to feel better on the diet, and this is considered entirely normal.

However, please follow up with your health care provider if you feel any discomfort.
