Align is the brand name. Here is the website with info about Align. The probiotic strain is Bifantis, which they've studied and has been proven to help IBS. Unfortunately (for me, anyway), I think it maybe works better for D than C - so potentially perfect for you! You take one pill per day.
I have found probiotics to be helpful in that I feel I don't get sick as often anymore, now that I've been taking them consistently for awhile. And maybe my bloating would be worse without them, who knows? But I definitely still struggle greatly with C, bloating, and gas.

I think I'll probably go back to my Udo's Choice. I used to take the Super Bifido Plus - it is supposed to have 70 billion active cells.
I've obviously never been 100% (or I wouldn't be on this board all of the time!!) but I probably found the most relief on the Udo's. If anyone has any other recommendations, I'm open to them as well!

I've found with the Udo's that if I take it before breakfast, it's more likely to help me poop. If I take it after I eat it does absolutely nothing.
