Yes! If I veer from this too much, then I have problems. Yeast and sugar are huge culprits for me. Everyone is different though, and should follow what works for them. If you keep doing what you are doing, you'll always get the same results. Change may be necessary. The hard part is knowing just what the changes should be.

Well, you can be my hero in the fact that you are so on the same mindset as me.
Fen, I guess you are the brave soul!!!
Ha ha - this made me laugh out loud because I got a little too brave. Or cocky. I ate some ice cream! I haven't eaten any in years! So I'm a bit bloated now (though still not as bad as I was in the recent past!) and to make matters worse, it was cherry ice cream so I've been peeing every 40 minutes!
I should mention that one of the reasons I've been feeling braver lately is that I started taking Align about 6 weeks ago and 5 weeks in or so, I really started to notice an honest-to-god improvement. And it's not psychosomatic, because I really didn't think the Align would work any better than any other probiotic.
I was on vacation from work last week too. Tomorrow is back to the daily grind, so we'll see how my stomach holds up then.
THe one thing I've found with the Align is that I still get gassy after I eat and I still get a bit bloated, but instead of getting trapped and making my belly bigger and bigger and bigger, I'm now able to pass a little gas and the bloating disappears.
I'd encourage anyone who hasn't tried Align to do so - for me it was well worth the price!

My doctor gave me a few weeks worth of samples to try, then I ordered it online at www.aligngi.com. Some pharmacies stock it as well, so you can check there as well. It is not carried in drugstores.

Usually pharmacies can order it for you so that way you don't have to pay S&H. I got it through Target so try calling them if you have one nearby.

You actually don't pay shipping if you order from the website either. I'm not sure if there's a cost difference between the pharmacy and the website.

I think the cost is the same (it was when I bought it last year). The good thing about pharmacy was that it was there ready to be picked up the next day.

No, you're right to be confused. My fault.
I really really did think that it was helping, but I was on vacation last week. Ever since I've been home and especially back at work, my bloating has been worse than ever.
So I really think it was more about being on vacation than it was about the Align. I probably will not purchase another box.

I've been buying my align through drugstore.com and they send it every month automatically if you like. They have been good to work with and give 5% cash back.
