Yipee! I started taking Digestive Advantage about 4 days ago, and hooboy...it is working! I'm typically a D person, and usually the only think that stops it is not eating  Well, as of yesterday, I haven't had any D. My BM's have been very healthy (I won't say more than that) so it's not like taking imodium or pepto or any of those other anti-D meds. My body is actually starting to feel kinda normal. The only wierd thing is that I had abdominal cramps this morning (like usual) and I thought I was going to have my daily morning D, but instead everything came out healthy and normal. I ate something last night that gave me a tummy ache, so I think the pain this morning was from that and not related to my daily morning D. Anyway, I was just so excited, I thought I'd share my new discovery...anyone who hasn't tried it before should give it a try. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but you never know if you don't try!

I have been on Digestive Advantage a couple of months - and it is working well for me as well. Remember though - when your period comes - you may have to increase the dosage from 1 to 2 tablets as it says on the package. You can purchase it at some drug stores. I have seen it at CVS and Brooks. (but not all CVS's and Brooks) Anne

Anne do you take this in addition to other SF supplements or is this in place of something like Benefiber?

Yes, it is for ALL symptoms of IBS, and can be bought OTC in drugstores. I got mine from Walgreens, it's in the same section as the laxatives/Immodium, etc. I've been on it a week now, and between that & changing my diet, I am feeling SO much better!!
I've actually had THREE bm's this week!! That's like a record for me!! (Kind of sad that going potty can get you so excited, huh? LOL)
It's definitely worth trying.  I'm feeling so much better this week, I've lost 5 pounds in the last 10 days, and haven't had any attacks in the last week. (Maybe a mild one or two, but barely noticeable compared to normal!)
