Poo~Pourri Aides Suffers of Gastrointestinal Disorders

Poo~Pourri is designed for anyone wanting a fresh smelling restroom but the patent pending formula is powerful enough to neutralize even the strongest bathroom odors. This makes our product especially handy for those who suffer from bowel disorders or gastrointestinal distress that may result in extra time in the bathroom.

Everyone suffers from gastrointestinal distress at one time or another, but chronic bowel disorders are more common than most realize. Many doctors report irritable bowel syndrome as the second leading cause of doctor visits in the US, following the common cold.

It is estimated that 15% of the population suffers from IBS, approximately 10% are lactose intolerant and more than 5% suffer from food allergies including celiac disease and sensitivity to wheat. In addition to bowel disorders, many other diseases including cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and gallstones can cause gastrointestinal distress.

Worse than abdominal pain, cramps, gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation, many people list embarrassment as the most painful symptom of gastrointestinal disorders. This is because bowel disorders do not simply manifest at home in the privacy of your own clean bathroom. Symptoms occur at work, at stores, restaurants, theaters, you name it.

In addition to frequent and unavoidable trips to the bathroom, those with bowel disorders often suffer with foul smelling feces. Strong fecal odor is a symptom of dozens of serious and not so serious conditions ranging from poor diet to some forms of cancer.

Poo~Pourri is a spray deodorizer designed to be sprayed directly onto the toilet bowl water before you go. The secret blend essential oils create a film on the surface of the toilet water that acts as a barrier to trap odors inside. A few sprays are all you need to neutralize strong diarrhea and fecal smells.

Poo~Pourri comes in a variety of scents and sizes convenient for home or travel. The stylish atomizer and spray bottles are designed to slip discreetly into a purse, pocket or briefcase.
