FC-Cidal™

This did not work at all. If anything, it made me feel miserable for a whole entire month. I started to feel normal again when I stopped taking it.

I used Biotics Dysbiocide simultaneously with Biotics FC-Cidal for SIBO and can say that (so far) this sh*t really works! I was diagnosed with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) after taking a lactulose breath test following a bad bout with food poisoning and multiple rounds of antibiotics afterward. Turns out the antibiotics cleared out my good bacteria leaving the bad to grow! Fast forward past a hellish 6 months of gas, bloating, digestive issues, and a newfound fear of food, and my gastroenterologist orders me to go on Xifaxan (rifaximin) to target and kill the SIBO. It worked, but only for 3 weeks. The SIBO came back (very common), and my gastro doc ordered me to go on herbal rescue therapy (the Dysbiocide + FC-Cidal combo). It's only been 4 days, but I'm feeling WAY better than I have in a long time. The testament? I ate a full Mexican cuisine dinner last night at a restaurant and had a SOLID stool today! Sorry to get graphic, but it has been loose for sooooo long! I have been on the low FODMAP diet (and feeling malnourished) for MONTHS afraid to eat any "unsafe" foods, but am now thinking I can branch out and eat high FODMAP foods like avocado and corn again without paying for it later. Reader be warned, there are side effects with the Biotics combo (as a result of bacteria "die-off"), but they're bearable in relation to what you (we) have been dealing with! These include extreme fatigue, insomnia (took 2 hours to fall asleep one night) some brain fog, and sinus issues/allergies for the first few days. I've had a little nausea, but it's not bad at all. It's day 4 and my stomach is not making noises like it was, gas feels fruitful like it used to, and the bowel movements are whole, smooth, and feel soooooo good again! I'll keep you posted on my progress as I've been instructed to be on the Biotics combo for 1 month. Feeling optimistic and now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. You, too, can get through this. If this review even helps 1 person, it was worth it!

Biotics Research FC Cidal has been an essential component of my comprehensive gut health protocol recommended by my functional medicine doctor. This herbal blend provides targeted botanical support for maintaining healthy digestive balance, and the results have been consistently positive when used as part of a structured gut restoration program. What sets this supplement apart is the synergistic combination of herbal ingredients that work together to support overall gastrointestinal health. The 500mg capsules deliver therapeutic potency that healthcare practitioners rely on for clinical applications. My doctor specifically chose this formula for its research-backed ingredients and the company's reputation for producing supplements that meet professional standards. The quality and consistency have been outstanding throughout my treatment protocol. The capsules are easy to swallow without any unpleasant aftertaste, and I've experienced no digestive upset when following the prescribed dosing schedule. The botanical ingredients maintain their potency well, and the packaging protects the supplements from degradation. The manufacturing standards from Biotics Research are evident in every aspect of this product. The labeling is clear and professional, expiration dates are well into the future, and the overall quality control gives me confidence in taking this daily as part of my health regimen. Working closely with my healthcare provider to determine proper dosing and duration has been crucial for achieving optimal results. This is a therapeutic-grade supplement that works best when integrated into a comprehensive gut health strategy rather than used as a standalone product. Highly recommend for those working with qualified practitioners on digestive health - this delivers the professional-grade botanical support that clinicians trust for effective gut health protocols.

This stuff works! I caught a GI bug about 3 weeks ago (5 days of D). It cleared up but my stomach hurt so I went on a BRAT diet, which I think fed the bad bacteria. When I ate normal again (about a week later) I had the worse gas of my life! I read about post-infectious IBS/SIBO and it sounded like I had that. I had gas, mild cramping/pain... I started this & low FODMAP and felt better after just one day! Twice a day was too much for my body (2 days of extreme fatigue and 2 boughts explosive D, although the D felt good like I was getting de-mons out of my body). I went to once a day and feel a lot better. It could have just been SIBO die off but I didn't want to risk it (I work the next 7 days). I would definitely say give this a try if you feel your gut biome is off! Weirdly enough, before all of this, my pee had a small odor that is gone so maybe I had leaky gut too. I'm going to stick woth low FODMAP for a while (my dad has IBS) and slowly add pre&probiotics (I think they are healthy!) but I'm so glad my symptoms are gone!! 3 days since starting and I feel pre-stomach flu, if not better!

This works great for SIBO with the Dysbiocide but why is it suddenly double the price?? That being said, it is worth it, but frustrating. I take 2 pills from each bottle 2x a day as the study said. After about a week to 2 weeks, bloating was nearly gone, horrible constipation gone, and I didn’t change my diet. I take it for the full 30 days. It does come back so I end up taking it a few times a year. Absolute miracle after the recommended antibiotics for SIBO hurt my gut so much that I had to stop after a few days. Antibiotics wreak havoc on your gut!!
