Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Heather- best probiotic on the market?

Hi, and thanks! I'm so glad you're happy here.

I honestly don't know of a good brand. I wish I did, because the studies on probiotics for IBS are really encouraging. I'd find a good local health food market with a high product turnover, and ask the folks who work in the supplement department what they recommend. I've found the people at Wild Oats and Whole Foods to be really knowledgable, so if you've got those stores to choose from see what they can tell you. Or maybe someone on the boards has experience with a brand that has done well for them?

I love Altoids too. I'm actually trying to get them for the website, but it's been tough to find a distributor. I'd really like to carry their ginger ones, as they're so hard to find in stores.

For rice milk, I like Rice Dream and Pacific. But, everyone has different preferences here. Best bet is to buy a plain and vanilla from a bunch of different brands and experiment. The ones you don't care for straight you can use in recipes and you'll never taste them.

I hope to have the yoga DVD out by Christmas. Now that the website project is wrapping up that's next on the list...
