Common Questions
Continue Gut Maintain (IBS-D) daily for at least 3 months post Repair-4™. As with all microbiome programs, probiotics don’t permanently colonise and often drop off within 7–10 days of stopping, so consistent daily intake helps maintain balance and prevent symptom recurrence.
Follow your doctor’s plan for daily probiotics alongside the The Microbiome Clinic™ Natural Eating Plan; reassess at 12 weeks. The program timeline explicitly moves from Repair-4™ into Gut Maintain, reinforcing the importance of continued support.
