Enterosgel sachets, with 30 years of clinical research, is a remedy to treat severe indigestion, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating and urgency and food poisoning. Enterosgel sachets are suitable for babies, children and adults and provide fast relief. Enterosgel is a safe effective treatment for the whole family, including children and babies. 

Enterosgel is an innovative intestinal adsorbent developed for binding toxins, viruses, allergens, pathogens and other harmful substances in the GI tract and removing them from the body.

Enterosgel works like a clever sponge gently passing through the gut. It adsorbs only medium-weight molecules of harmful substances in the gut, which are toxins, pathogens, allergens and viruses, and removes them within 12-24 hours with your normal bowel movement. Due to its hydrophobic features and porous structure Enterosgel does not remove water, vitamins and other beneficial substances from the gut and is completely removed from the body within 12-24 hours.

What is the evidence to support Enterosgel?
Enterosgel was developed in 1980’s and has been available as an over-the-counter treatment since 1996 in Europe. Since that time millions of people have used Enterosgel worldwide.  There is a lot of scientific evidence to support Enterosgel, there have been lab-based studies to show how it works by binding and removing harmful substances from the gut that can cause diarrhoea and other symptoms, in both short-term diarrhoea (acute) and also in people with IBS with diarrhoea (IBS-D).  Many clinical studies in both adults and children have shown that it is a safe and effective treatment. Two of these studies have been completed in the UK. The first was a randomised controlled trial investigating Enterosgel® for the treatment of acute diarrhoea in adults recruited from GP surgeries. This showed that Enterosgel significantly reduced the duration of diarrhoea in patients that either had a gastrointestinal infection or other causes for their short-term diarrhoea.  The second was a large UK trial of 440 patients and investigated the efficacy and safety of Enterosgel in the treatment of patients with IBS-D. The results are just being published and show that Enterosgel is safe and effective treatment for the main IBS-D symptoms of; diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, and urgency. After all trial patients got to take Enterosgel during the open label phase, 76% of them said that it gave then adequate relief of their IBS symptoms.

Is Enterosgel a medicine?
No, Enterosgel is classified as a medical device and has a CE certificate for use in Europe.
