A menopause coach from Hampshire says a daily supplement costing as little as 55p a day settled her stomach within two to three weeks, while one customer described the product as "nothing short of a miracle" after 20 years of digestive discomfort.
Claire Hattrick, 59, who now works as The Executive Menopause Coach, said bloating and trapped wind became so severe that getting dressed in the morning was a challenge. She recalled feeling as though her belly button was about to explode and joked that she could "fart from the top of the stairs to the bottom." The symptoms led her to reach for elasticated waistbands instead of her usual jeans as she battled bloating, constipation and diarrhoea on a daily basis.
Supplement Brings Noticeable Improvement
After years of digestive issues, Claire said she noticed a marked improvement when she added DRV+'s Gut Works supplement to her routine. The product contains live bacterial cultures, fibre and a prebiotic. She said her stomach began to feel more settled within two to three weeks, and she has been taking it ever since.
"I noticed it straight away, literally within two or three weeks," she said. "I thought, I can go out and not have to worry about a cup of tea with milk going straight through me." She also reported feeling far more comfortable in her everyday clothing and no longer suffers from the same degree of bloating.
Pricing and Availability
Gut Works ordinarily costs 93p a day on a monthly subscription, but new customers can save more on their first order using the code DRVPLUS50. This reduces the price of the one-pouch subscription, delivered every 30 days, from £32.99 (now £28.04) to £16.27, working out at 55p a day. Other options include a two-pouch subscription every 60 days for £54.10, reduced from £65.98, and a three-pouch subscription every 90 days for £79.18, down from £98.97. Customers can also place a one-time order for a 60-day supply at £31.34, or 30 days for £32.99, though the discount code cannot be applied to these purchases.
The supplement is vegan and contains six identified strains of live bacteria, combined with prebiotic inulin and psyllium husk. Every capsule delivers 50 billion colony-forming units (CFU) at the point of manufacture, featuring strains including Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus plantarum PPLP-217. The formula also contains 100mg of inulin sourced from chicory root and 50mg of psyllium husk, both of which are fibre sources.
Customer Reviews and Alternatives
Gut Works has received glowing reviews from shoppers. One customer remarked: "I find Gut Works works brilliantly for me, it keeps my bloating down. I take it to help my digestive problems, IBS and gastritis. I have the worst digestive system ever, but this is a lifesaver for me. I notice how good it actually is if I don't take it. I would fully recommend this product if you suffer."
Another wrote: "Nothing short of a miracle! This has really changed my life. After 20 years of discomfort and numerous visits to specialists, these little supplements have worked their magic. It took four short weeks to make a difference." Not everyone was wholly convinced, with one reviewer noting: "It has had a positive effect on bloating and general digestion. One capsule daily is so easy, but it's on the pricey side, so it may not be sustainable."
One shopper added: "I started to feel a difference after a couple of weeks of using this product. My gut feels a lot more settled and comfortable than usual, and there's noticeably less bloating. It's easy and convenient to take and reassuring that it has good ingredients. I hope to continue using this product in order to further enjoy the benefits I've experienced so far."
Gut Works has also gained recognition from BBC Good Food, earning a Star Buy award in 2025. Once the first three payments have been made, the subscription reverts to its standard price, with the usual 15% subscription discount applied (£28.04 down from £32.99). The offer is exclusively available to new customers purchasing via the DRV+ website and cannot be used in conjunction with other promotions. Subscriptions may be skipped, amended or cancelled at any time, and the brand provides free delivery alongside a 60-day money-back guarantee, subject to its terms and conditions.
Gut Works is a food supplement and should not be considered a medicine or a substitute for professional medical treatment. Anyone experiencing persistent or worsening bloating, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits is advised to consult a healthcare professional. For those seeking alternatives, Holland and Barrett stock their Friendly Bacteria 50 Billion 30 Capsules at £20.99, and Boots carries the Jerms Daily Gut, Gut Microbiome and Metabolic Support powder at £32.99 for a one-month supply.
