I went to Rite Aid to pick up a probiotic and I looked at the Align and the Kyo-Dophilus. I stood there read the packages and ended up walking out without either one. I just don't know which one would help my urgency/diarrhea. I am tired of spending money on thing that don't work but I know in order to find the right one I will have to. The Align did say on the box helps with urgency and diarrhea but I have heard good and bad things about both. Please any advice would be helpful. I need it for urgency/diarrhea not constipation of any kind. I am taking calcuim right now to see if that will help but I am only on day 3 plus I figured a probiotic would only help things. Hopefully anyways. Please help I am soooooo confused.

Align contains one probiotic - B. infantis - that has been clinically tested on a few hundred IBS suffers in a world class IBS treatment and research facilities. Kyo-Dophilus contains three probiotics - L. acidophilus, B. bifidum and B. longum - that has not been clinically tested on IBS suffers. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that Align will work but it is certain worth giving it a try given the clinical evidence.
