Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I don't take Align because it is not available in Canada. I take Life Start which like Align contains only one probiotic - Bifidobacterium infantis. Also, it is much less expensive.

I found Life Start changed my bowel habits with in a few days. If you check the Align FAQ you will see it say "in the early stages of Align use, you may notice some changes from what you are used to as part of the adjustment phase on the path towards normal digestive health. For example, you may notice that your stool changes from a soft stool to a more formed stool, or experience different signals it is time to go. This is normal, and is a clear sign that Align is working to balance your system".

Over the long term I find it significantly decreases bloating and pain. And it is not a placebo effect
