I dont know if anyone can help me with this but I have had IBS for years and have had it pretty much under control until recently! I keep getting really bad abdominal distension and bloating. I am drinking peppermint herbal tea but I wondered if anyone knew of anything good containing probiotics that I could have as I would like to give this a go. Has anyone tried these and seen a difference?? Please help I feel really fat!!!!

Go to a good HFS for probiotics...you don't want to get anything like Yakult as that's dairy and isn't neccessarily a good probiotic. Probiotics help some people but not all...you won't know which categry you fall into unless you give them a good try (eg. a month).

Fennel tea is great for bloating btw.

if theres a WHOLE FOODS near you, they usually carry this soy yogurt: probiotic soy yogurt theres also another one by Whole Soy--both are dairy-free and LF. the first one has more fiber.
