Anyone every heard of this?it restores the balance in your intestines by adding Lactobacillus plantarum 299v.
Says it works,might give it a try.
Three clinical trials confirmed it eliminates or reduces 95% of IBS symptoms.

Syl ?Any thoughts?

There have been a couple of small clinical trials that show it is marginally effective and one study that showed it had no effect on IBS. Not sure it has been shown to be as effective as VSL#3 or Align. It might be worth a try but I wouldn't be too optimistic.
