When I was first diagnosed last year I took Align at my GI's suggestion but not one a day--I took one every other day along with strictly following Heather's diet (absolutely no cheating) and Acacia twice a day in hot tea. It took about 3 months (during which time I also found out I really had to limit the intake of fructose which means a lot of label reading and very little eating out) but I finally got stable. Now I have an occasion bout of gas and bloating but I can live my life again and be around polite company without fear. It is very liberating. Good luck to you. Oh--I don't take Align now that I am stable. My GI said I could experiment with it and continue to take it if I needed it but after I got my bacteria "aligned" then I really didn't need it unless I had the stomach flu or a bad IBS attack and that was to readjust the bacteria. I understand that some of the folks on this board take a probiotic all the time. I don't think it would hurt, but Align is expensive and I don't want to take it all the time unless I have to.
