I was looking at some info about probiotics and IBS because i want to start taking something and i found this:
Enzyme Suggestions:
With every meal - 2 OxiCellZyme and 2 PureZyme
Following each meal - 2 GastroZyme
Before Bed - 3 Plantadophilus
Does this make any sense? I have no idea what i should be looking for and this is what they suggested for IBS. This sounds like a lot of pills tho? Any input on this and what probiotics i should maybe take (i live in Canada if that helps) would be great! I did a search and found info about Jarro but not sure if thats just in the states or not. Also was thinking about acidophillus??? HELP PLEASE!!!!  Thanks!

That does sound like an awful lot of meds. I don't know about any of those particular brands, but it seems like most people here take digestive enzymes and/or Beano just before each meal. After the meal and before bed sounds a little unecessary to me.
As for the probiotics, acidophillus is a great one to take. Jarro actually contains acidophillus, along with a bunch of other types of probiotics. There are also others brands that contain it, you'd just need to make sure you get a good one that has live cultures. I'm not sure if Jarro is sold outside of the US... hopefully someone else can answer that one for you!
