I do the same thing but after a week or so I'm wayyyyyy better with gas. I use a clinicly proven brand called Culturelle. My friend with IBS had tried so many brands and he swore with this one, not only less gas but no foul smell. You can order it through your pharmacie. I get mine through either price rite drug or Albertsons. It doesn't need to be refridgerated but they recommend it not to be stored above I think 70. Good luck and hang in there.

Are you referring to the SWISS HERBAL brand? The actual label
my Mum has/uses reads "SWISS natural sources." "Each capsule contains: lactose, whey powder, bacterial culture, magnesium stearate, ascorbic acid, gelatin/lactose." Perhaps the LACTOSE and WHEY POWDER may be a significant factor in the "burpiness," etc.

but it does have 6 billion cells,(that's a LOT!) so I may not need to take it 4 times a day. I thought it'd just get it going faster.
I read on the internet somewhere that the first few days, gas is expected. Honestly, I don't get this much gas from milk, straight up! So...anyhow, it's expected to go away big time in the next 24 hours or so.Hope so, I'm glued to my Magic Bag right now!!!(i'd actually give anything to burp or fart today. There's none!! now it's all stcuk inside.)
Oy vey! The love and attention I'm giving these guts!

I have also read the studies on this probiotic and it has proven very reliable. It is used in hospitals now to treat diarrhea in children. It has a fantastic reputation among the medical field, which tends to not embrace any sort of "alternative treatment" outside prescriptions.
However, I was under the impression that this brand was only useful for diarrhea and not constipation. From you earlier posts I presumed you were a C??? Do you find this Culturelle helps you without increasing the C? I would think that if it is used to treat D, it might cause us C folks to be more C. I know it only has one strain of acidpholous or probiotic or whatever you call a strain of live cultures and I think muliple strains are recommended for IBS over probiotics only containing one. I read in the research library theat L. Plantarium is good for pain of IBS and that L Rhueti is good for C or was it L. Rhamonous? Anyhow, if you could get a multi-strain with these specific types in them, wouldn't it help us more??
Please tell me what you think about Culturelle for constipation. I have some from when I was D, but now I'm afriad to take them since I am C. They probably aren't good anymore anyhow! 
Is your friend that's taking them a C or a D?
PS. I got mine at CVC or Walgreens.

and there are specific sites I found(I don't know where now,) that indicate it for IBS and tell you how to take them. By the way, I feel SO much better today. I had 3 BMs and the pebbles are Gone!
Then again, that could mean my gut wants to "bat for the other team" for a while!!! I guess I'll stock up on the toilet paper, LOL!
