Darn, we don't have a Safeway in Illinois!  Maybe Jewel is the same thing. For some reason I think they are owned by the same company. Thanks anyways. Looks for the search for a probiotic continues!
Lucky, you live in SF!!!!The home of SF(Soluble Fiber)!

Try a Walgreens pharmacy, they are cheaper than the HFS. Make sure you get Acidolphilus Plus, its the best.

Forgot to ask, is it kept refrigerated in the pharmacy, or is it right on the shelf?

But I was reading the bottle of the stuff I was taking and it has FOS in it and I've been fine. Still I think If I'm upping to twice a day I think the second pill will be a different brand.

So what brand are you going to take? The jarro with the FOS? Or two brands at once? I hope you saw my post about Heathers comment on FOS, but I do no that for some people it just doesn't bother them. So if it works for you, then that's all that counts!!!
Just read your response on the probiotic thread. What do the gals at Wild Oats recommend? I know PB8 has FOS in it, I think.

I am taking a probiotic called Florify. I am happy with it and do not paln to give it up.  But I want to take probiotics twice a day and Florify costs alot so I was thinking about taking another brand to use for my second dose.
The woman at Wild Oats actually recommended the Jaro with FOS so I think she really didn't understant what IBS was all about.  But she did clue me into the fact that birth controll pills can kill off probiotics.  I was taking my Florfiy and birth control pill right after breakfast. 
OK so the end of the stroy is that I am taking the ortho tri cyclin after breakfast
The Florify after luch
and I haven't decided yet about the extra dose of probiotics but I'm definatley NOT going totake a second dose of probiotics with FOS in it.
Well that was a mouthful I hope I didn't bore you.

Does Florify have FOS in it too?
As far as the Wild Oats people, they mean well and are very friendly, but as you say, not specialized in IBS. They give advice for the general public. When I told them I was looking for fiber supplement for IBS they told me to take psyllium fiber and to eat lots of whole wheat cereal and breads and lot of fruits and veggies!! Yikes, that would kill me. But for the general public that is very healthy.

I went back to Wild Oats today and returned the Jarro with FOS, expained my probelm and they reffered me to a sales lady who did know what IBS was all about. She reccomended PB 8. But be carefull there are two kinds and one has FOS in it. She also gave me some free samples to try it out before I open the bottle. The florify apparently does have FOS in it, but as of yet has not bothered me. I think the FOS is what helps the upper digestive tract and since I'm prone to ulcers (I've had two flare ups in the past)it is bennificial for me. But not twice a day. Do yuo take probiotics? What kind? Have a good weekend.
