On some other IBS board, someone from Austrailia said she takes these and I was wondering what you all think? They're quite expensive to ship because they come from AU and need to be shipped on ice so I would be VERY weary to spend 70 bucks on a probiotic.
There are also a whole bunch of other products for IBS on there too here.
Id like to think maybe these are some new things we can try to help us! Especially since they are made in Austrailia and they, like other countries, recognize IBS as a serious illness more than the US seems to--maybe they do a little more research and have better methods of dealing with them? The other products aren't as expensive either so it wouldnt be so much of a loss to try.
On a side note: I got my first tattoo yesterday!
"Life is Golden" it started off as a joke but then as I thought about it more I thought it'd be cute..like my little inspirational message haha.
Not only do I like it, I like that I was able to get it. I felt extremely nervous before I went and I thought my nerves and IBS was gonna take the best of me and I wouldnt be able to go through with it but I did! And it wasn't even bad! I felt like the old me kinda...I was able to do what I wanted to do and not worry about running to the bathroom. I still had a stomach ache but I didnt let that stop me! Hopefully this means I will be able to handle future nerve wracking/stressful experiences better than I think I can!

It seems to me that we have probiotics like this in the US already -- at least at my HFS store they carry stuff with these same ingredients plus as high of organisms too -- Mine have 15 billion Lactobacillus plantarum organisms in them. It does seem that our probiotics are not called IBS Support but they are the same ingredients so they function the same way, I would think.

Yeah after I looked into it a little bit, I realized that. Do you take any probiotics? What kind? I just started taking Flora-Q but I think im going to try Align next month.

I have been on a couple different ones. One was called DX (non-refrigerant) which had 16 billion viable cells and now I am doing Kyo-Dophilius which only has 1.5 billion viable cells but it is working fine. The amount of viable cells you need depends a lot upon what types of food that gives you the most trouble.

Hi all. I'm new here. I have a question about flaxseed. Is it safe/beneficial for IBS?
Thanks!
