Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had positive experience with a probiotic that they could share. I tried Bio-K Plus Soy yogurt for 3 months, and although it seemed to help my D a bit, it certainly didn't help my gas and bloating, and may have actually made it worse (I'm still up in the air about how soy affects me). But I know people have gotten some relief from probiotics, so I want to try them again. Any suggestions for those with IBS-D and/or that help gas and bloating would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks so much!!!

I just started an adult formula one from Renew life to soon to tell.Actually since I started the Arcadia that has been really helping me. If you do a search on the forums. You will see a recent one from tinkerbelle and she started to take the "critical care" from this company and is having great results.

I finished one month on Renew Life ultimate flora. I have had no results at all and have been worse lately (not from the probiotic but it isn't helping). I was told these can be slow to work if you were way out of balance, so I am doing one more month starting today.

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Minnie,
I believe in Tinkerbelle post she had taken it for 3 months and it had just started to help. My health food store said it can take a few months to regulate the good the bacteria. I havent taken mine yet.
