ADMIN – Hi Norman,
All the info you need is posted on the official page.
I wasn’t happy at all

The product was not intended to deliver happiness. It was intended to improve the health of your digestive system. If it failed in this manner you are a class member.
It was horrible!!!!
ADMIN – Hi Mike,
I did not try myself but I will take your word for it. Remember to file a claim.
was very dissappointed in what I payed for. Definitely was false advertisement

Sherry Weiser
Thx
ADMIN – Hi Sherry,
You need no help. All the info you need is posted.
It is not allowing me to put in the number of boxes and it’s not an user problem
ADMIN – Hi Tanya,
Reach out to the class action administrator so they can look into it.
I purchased this item in the spring of 2013 as suggested by my family physician. It seemed to work but didn’t help me with my real problem – acid reflux.
ADMIN – Hi Ursula,
Hopefully you filed your claim.
It will not LET me enter a # at all..
ADMIN – Hi Frederick,
Contact the class action administrator to report the issue.
Won’t allow a number for quantity. It puts a line: _
And the line cannot be altered or erased. And please STOP answering “It must be a browser problem, it worked for me” or “contact the administrator” because it is obviously a huge error on your website, as it is happening to multiple people using a wide variety of devices and browsers.
ADMIN – Hi Eliane,
It is not my website. While I own this website the claim form is hosted by the class action administrator.
I tried the product and it was not very good and did not work.
ADMIN – Hi Arlene,
If the deadline has not passed you can still file a claim.
I did not like the product
ADMIN – Hi Esther,
Hopefully you filed your claim
I have been purchasing this product for years. Lately I have been buying two pack from Costco but before I was a member of Costco I would buy it anywhere I was.

ADMIN – Hi Susan,
There is an option to file without receipt.

Pam Johnston
ADMIN – Hi Pam,
Did you file a claim?
The site where the claim form is gives me a runtime error each time I try to send it. No it is not an error on my part. Can someone please look into the issue of the site where the claim form is submitted. I’ve tried multiple times from different devices. Thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Cindee,
We are not the class action administrators thus we are unable to escalate the issue.

When should we expect check?
ADMIN – Hi Bertha,
The settlement page reads as follows:
The Court will hold a hearing on April 16, 2018 to decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement. If the Court approves the settlement, there may be appeals. It is always uncertain whether appeals will be filed and, if so, how long it will take to resolve them. Cash refunds will be distributed as soon as possible, only if and when the Court grants final approval to the settlement and after any appeals are resolved. Please be patient.

How do we know “if and when” the Court will grant final approval to the settlement and/or after any appeals are resolved? Thank you.
ADMIN – Hi Mr. Tate,
None of us know. There are endless factors affecting the timing of trials to include a court system that has a work overload and unexpected appeals that arise.
any word on checks being mailed?
ADMIN – Hi Misty,
No updates at the moment
How do I find my check
ADMIN – Hi Rebecca,
Reach out to the class action administrator.
Have any payment been made
ADMIN – Hi Rosa,
I don’t think so.

Hi still haven’t received my check do you have any idea when they may start the distributions? Thank you
ADMIN – Hi Kasandra,
The distribution has not yet taken place.
Do you know if they are still waiting for anyone that may have filed any appeals? Or if their trying to figure out how much each class member recieves? Do you have any idea of a possible time frame for disbursements.
Thank you
ADMIN – Hi Kassandra,
I don’t. Have you tried reaching out to the class action administrator?
