About Us
Hello, my name is Will and I am the founder of Intestinal Fortitude. I woke up one morning back in 2012 sick as a dog. Based on the symptoms, and the all-you-can-eat Crab Leg dinner from the night before, I thought I had food poisoning. Unfortunately, the symptoms persisted for weeks. A trip to the doctor and a short round of antibiotics got me feeling better for a few days, but then it started again. Another trip to the same doctor and a longer round of antibiotics really did the trick... for a few days.
At this point I was referred to a Gastrointestinal (GI) specialist who listened to my plight and promptly informed me that I most likely had Ulcerative Colitis (UC). WTF? I swallowed a pill-cam and wore a "sweet" fanny pack contraption to work the next day. The results? Inconclusive! So, I signed up for my first ever colonoscopy. The results? I didn't have UC, I had Crohn's disease. Double WTF? The GI doc put me on Prednisone and sulfasalazine, and began to lay out my options for long-term medication. Mind you, I'm in my mid-30's at this point and am not excited about 60+ years of drugs. So, I politely declined and set about researching alternative methods with which to deal with this disease.
I read every blog, joined every IBD related facebook group I could find, Googled every term I could think of. If someone mentioned what had helped them, I wrote it down. Then I went back to Google and looked to see if there were any scientific studies behind these ingredients. I bought and tried dozens of individual supplements. There were so many bottles on my bathroom sink that there was barely room for my toothbrush. Hundreds of hours of research and self-experimentation brought me to the "blend" that has given me several years of almost symptom-free living.
The more I searched and the more I learned, the more I grew concerned with the quality and trustworthiness of the supplements on the market. I knew I'd potentially be taking these for the rest of my life, and I could already see how expensive that was going to be. I knew that the only way that I could keep the quality up and the price down was to start my own company.
I teamed up with a Doctor of Pharmacology to “tweak” my blends for professional manufacturing. I searched for and interviewed many different potential manufacturing partners. (Some of these conversations let me know that I was 100% right to be concerned about the supplement industry). And then AI-5, GLR-6, and PRO-B11 were born! Like a spark of Divine light, the name Intestinal Fortitude just popped into my head and so it began... now you get to benefit from that fateful decision.
Let customers speak for us
Very happy with AI-5. I take it along with the CLR-6 and can feel the difference. Great duo for gut issues.
I was taking several different allopathic medications over multiple years for a variety of autoimmune conditions. And as hard as I worked at getting "normal" my system just seemed to go from one extreme mode (sometimes could not be more than 15 seconds away from a facility) to the extreme opposite. Out of frustration, I gave up all of the allopathic medications and then found GLR-6. I started taking it and steadily, it got better every day - a little at a time. After 4 months of taking it, I still have some issues, but I can generally tie it back to something I ate. And after that four months, I am so much better than I had been for a long time. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Excellent product. Thanks guys!
I take the Pro-B11 along with the Prebiotic GOLD.
Great combo. I will continue ordering both!
This product I use daily for my digestive system support and health. I find these more helpful than medicine I’ve been on for years. Have seen better results and felt better than before. So much so me and my husband both take this together. I’ve told my family about it and definitely recommend this for everyone who suffer with IBS or IBD.
I love the colostrum and I use it morning on an empty stomach and then at night a few hours after eating my last food and a few hours before the GLR-6. It calms my whole digestive track.
I am so glad I found this company! I started with GLR-6 and am now on my 2nd bottle of Phage 1. I feel so much better. My stomach feels consistently better throughout the day. No issues when of after I eat. Just a total change in my daily life activities. I can stay all day without any episodes/cramps or discomfort.
I LOVE GLR-6! I was looking for these ingredients individually and stumbled upon this product and soooo glad I did. I had no idea what an immediate difference these supplements would make. I wish I would've foudn about about these products 20 yreads ago. I had no help from military doctors just that I would have IBD for the rest of my life with no solution. I found the solution with Intestinal Fortitude. I loved it so much, I am trying their other products as well. I am grateful.
Just wanted to let you know your products are working. I was 35 years on Nexium and had become very sick with all the known side effects. It’s been slow but I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I first purchased on Amazon but then went to your site and got the full package so I could give myself a chance. I’ve been off Nexium for a month now and that’s after a month of a slow back off. I’m really starting to feel better , almost no pain at all ever. Thank you for a great product!
I love using PREbiotic Gold! I use it daily with Colostrum and it really helps to keep my gut happy and my body feeling well. Thank you!
I participated in Livaux scientific trial, the main ingredient of gold prebiotics, couple years ago and couldn’t find a good product containing it anywhere. During the trial, I noticed immediately how good it works and improves my digestion and daily routine . I’m glad I found this product and give it five stars, the only thing is that I need much bigger dosage like 3-4 pills a day to see improvement . I just made a second order and will be trying some other products of Intestinal Fortitude!
I have been taking the GLR – 6, PRO-B11, PREbiotic gold and the Colostrum for a couple of weeks. I’m starting to feel better and I’m excited that, hopefully,
I have finally found a product that will help me heal from acid reflux!
Will was quick to respond to my questions and so helpful with my order. 😊😊😊
I took advantage of this bundle to order Colostrum. I’ve been taking this for awhile now and highly recommend it!
I’ve been taking 2 capsule daily since receiving it, no results thus far, so maybe it takes longer than I thought it would.
