It seems to be the case that it is better for D than C but I believe there may have been some benefit to C also.
Clostridium difficile is a bacteria that causes diarrhea and other intestinal disease.

All the Florastor products contain the same thing. I believe only the number of tablets/capsule is different. It looks like an expensive probiotic.
Your meal sound fine. Just don't eat the celery but you sure need it for the flavor.  Enjoy!

There has been a small clinical trial that show the probiotic in Digestive Advantage, Bacillus coagulans, provided some relief from abdominal pain and bloating for patients with IBS. Others on the board have reported they found it somewhat effective. The ingredients listed on the website look okay.

yes it looks like they didn't update t heir ingredients because when you click on the links to buy it and look at the ingredients it is in there. I heard many ppl on sites complaining the old formula was good and the new one causes problems and doesn't help.. oh and I cut up carrots really small and cooked in crockpot with chicken..I am finding the carrot pieces in my stool,what does this say about me?

If the pieces are large then it likely means that you did not chew well enough. If they are small then it is normal.
The description for Digestive Advantage for IBS on Amazon may be wrong. The correct information is on the DA website where it says it contains Bacillus coagulans. This is the same probiotic it has contained for the past few years.

they are small pieces I cut up the carrots tiny...and chewed my food..I hate seeing the carrots make the stools lumpy and not well formed.
