My Grandma just came back from the GI doc and he told her about a new probiotic that Metamucil has created that claims to help reduce the effects of IBS. Has anyone tried this or have anymore info on it?

There is some good research evidence showing that the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis is effective for women with IBS-C and IBS-D.
There is an link to an article in the research library that describes a study of 20 UK centres involving 362 IBS suffers. The number of organism per capsule used in the trial was a million, 100 million and 10,000 million cfu. Algin contains 1,000 million cfu. The study paper concluded that the probiotic was effective in IBS-D and IBS-C compared to the placebo.
Procter & Gamble prepared the probiotic used in the trial and it is the manufacturer of Align

I was looking at the site and it said it contains milk ingredients.

the amount of milk ingredients in the capsule is tiny.

This looks very interesting...I was thinking of ordering it...I have C not D...the one thing that makes me think twice is it says for "occasional" bouts of digestive issues...I wish mine was occasional! I may give it a try anyways...my husband thinks I've lost it since I spend so much time trying to find something that helps me have bowel movements...of course he is one of these people that goes every morning like clockwork...I don't think he realizes how awful it feels not to be able to go to the bathroom normally like most people!
