I had my yearly apt with my GI. I left him know and showed him your book which he just glanced at. I told him that I had good results as long as I followed your diet. We talked about Probiotics and I told him a lady that I exercised with had tried Digestive Advange had a complete turn around. I tried a few but stopped them before I could even see if they helped. He recommended Florastor 250 mg one time a day ( it is recommended twice a day). Has anyone tried it and Heather have you known anyone to take it?? Thanks, Judith

Why did you stop taking digestive advantage? I'd recommend trying Align. It is one of the few probiotics that have been clinically proven to help IBS symptons.

Since my diagnosis of IBS 3 years ago, my GI doctor put me of Florastor, a probiotic at the highest potency, and it has worked. Along with Heather's dietary guidelines and Florastor, my life is so much better. I can actually leave the house and have somewhat of a normal daily schedule and routine. If I miss a day of my daily dose of Florastor, I see the results the next day.I highly recommend it. I found it cheapest at Costco Warehouse.

Because the MD recommended the Florastor. He gave me 4 days worth of samples to try and I bought 20 days to try. A lady at my exercise class took the Digestive Advantage a year ago and she hasn't had any problem since and eats anything. Thanks, Judith

How many do you take a day? I know it says you can go to 2. I see my GI in 2 wks and will ask him. I think I am doing better with it and the gas has stopped. Thanks, Judith
