I just don't think I can afford this one. The website for Bio-K says for IBS to take a full bottle for 30 days...then 1/2 to 1 bottle afterwards. I guess I was hoping I could get by with 1/2 bottle. Not that the full bottle helped either, though. Maybe I should try Primal Defense now.

People on here had so many good things to say about Bio-K so I decided to try it. I always like to try new things. There's nothing wrong with the Primal Defense, and I will probably go back to it again.

It wouldn't hurt to try. The primal defense has been the best probiotic for me so far, but I wanted to try out the Bio-K.

Sorry I've been away for awhile...
I'm taking a full bottle of Bio-K every morning, and I've been pretty much symptom-free since I started a few weeks ago. (Yes, I increased my Bio-K dosage WAY faster than Kat did; my body didn't seem to object!) It's like magic! After I get back from vacation, I'll need to find a less expensive replacement for it. Usually my worst symptoms occur in the evening. I'll get gassy and a little bloated. But that hasn't happened in several weeks!
I also noticed that the Bio-K allows me to increase my acacia dosage more quickly. I'm up to 1.5 teaspoons 3x daily. Still not a lot, but I'm getting there!

It's too bad it's so expensive. My IBS wasn't helped enough for it to pay this much I don't think. Not that I could afford it even if it did! 
Do you have any idea what you are going to replace it with, Lisa? How long are you going to take Bio-K for?

All I'm concerned about right now is getting through my vacation without IBS ruining it! And right now, this seems to be the best way to make that happen. I leave three weeks from yesterday, so I guess I've got another month of Bio-K. No idea what I'll replace it with. I have some stuff in pill form in my fridge, maybe I'll just double up on that and see if it helps. If not, I'll just go to Wild Oats or Whole Foods and see what they suggest.
I know it's a lot of money, but DH knows how hard I'm trying to not get sick on our trip, so he's supportive.

We're going on a 7-night eastern Caribbean cruise on Norwegian!! I'm so excited, but it's also my first trip since starting the EFI diet, so I'm nervous, too. I told the cruise line I have a "dairy allergy"; figured that was the easiest thing to do. Today I'm going to call the ship's coordinator and make sure it's okay to bring various food items onto the ship. It shouldn't be a problem, the cruise line people have been great so far!
Two weeks from Sunday!! Yay! We've had six weekends in a row of snow out here in Denver, so I'm SICK of winter!

Sounds wonderful! I could use a break from the winter weather too!
Good luck on the cruise. Remember, you are in control of what goes into your body...but you sound like you are going to be great!!
