I want to try florastore! I've currently been taking align for a year or 2..I can't even tell if it's helping at all..so Florastor sounds so good..How do I stop align and take florastor?

Stop taking Align for a couple of weeks before you start the new probiotic and see how you feel.

There is no way to tell if the Align is helping unless you stop taking for 7-10 days. Sorry!
If you feel stopping Align will make you feel crappy then it must be working for you. If it isn't working for you then stopping taking it shouldn't have any effect.

but would it still be ok to stop align for just 1 day then go right to the florastore?

Sure - you can take them both at the same if you don't care about knowing which one is working for you.

no I mean I wouldn't take them at the same time.. well I would go 1 day without align..then take florastore for a few monthes and see how it does. I was reading about florastore and perhaps I would notice more of a change and wanted to give it a try.

is it possible align could be making things worse? it has milk protein,magnesium stearate(is that the one that can cause d?) sodium cittrate? whats that can it cause more watery or loose stool? it says there is no lactose,soy or gluten in this though..but isn't milk protein still hard on ibs? ANyway,can you tell me which florastor is looking the best? there was so many choices  http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=florastor&tag=googhydr-20&index=hpc&hvadid=3091820699&ref=pd_sl_1mb7x40l5v_b

Align has been tested on all types of IBS with no known adverse problems other than a bit of bloating and gas when initially taken.
I have no idea about the efficacy of Florastor.

is it possiblealign could make things worse and another probiotic can make it better? is there any benefit trying florastor instead of align? I really don't think I've felt any diffrent or seen any results with align..
by the way do u think anise,caraway botanical powdered capsules would be any benefit? I don't have time to make 3 diffrent kinds of teas a day..I just wish to try capsules for conveinience,something I can take to work with me and during the day drink the fennel tea. plz take a look http://www.herbalextractsplus.com/anise-seed.cfm Perhaps I will find success with anise and caraway?
