The role of probiotics in IBS is a bit complicated and the story is still emerging.

I forgot to mention one other thing. More bacteria in a probiotic does not mean it is more potent. For example, 1 billion cells of one bacteria may be effective while 10 billion of another bacteria may have little or no effect.

Keep us posted about your Align experience. Good luck
