Menopause coach Claire Hattrick, 59, from Hampshire, says adding DRV+'s Gut Works supplement to her daily routine brought considerable improvement to the bloating and trapped wind that once made even getting dressed a struggle. New customers can currently reduce the cost of a one-pouch subscription, delivered every 30 days, from £32.99 to £16.27 using the code DRVPLUS50, working out at 55p a day.
Digestive symptoms take their toll
Bloating, constipation and diarrhoea left Claire swapping her usual jeans for elasticated waistbands to stay comfortable. She described feeling as though her tummy button was about to explode, joking that she could 'fart from the top of the stairs to the bottom'.
Along with joint pain and significant sleep disturbance, the digestive problems made daily tasks uncomfortable. "You can't do your jeans up because you're so bloated. You're looking through your wardrobe thinking, well, I can't get into that. I've got to wear something elasticated, or gym stuff," she said.
Improvement within weeks
Claire says her digestive system began to feel more comfortable within two to three weeks of taking the supplement. "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."
Gut Works is a vegan supplement designed to support gut health, combining six strains of live bacteria with two types of dietary fibre. Each capsule contains 50 billion colony-forming units (CFU) of live bacteria at the time of manufacture, including strains such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG, Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus plantarum PPLP-217.
Pricing and availability
The supplement costs 93p a day with a monthly subscription. Alongside the one-pouch option, a two-pouch subscription every 60 days is available for £54.10, reduced from £65.98, and a three-pouch subscription every 90 days costs £79.18, reduced from £98.97, both with the code DRVPLUS50.
Shoppers can also make a one-off purchase for a 60-day supply at £31.34, or 30 days for £32.99, although the discount code cannot be used for these orders. The promotion is exclusively available to new customers purchasing through the DRV+ website and cannot be combined with other offers. Subscriptions can be paused, modified or terminated at any time, with complimentary delivery and a 60-day money-back guarantee, subject to terms and conditions.
Customer reviews
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 wrote: "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 is a food supplement and should not be regarded as a medicine or a substitute for professional medical treatment. Anyone experiencing ongoing or deteriorating bloating, abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits is encouraged to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
