Re: I take this Pro-biotic but it's expensive...do they really help?       05/15/08 06:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Some studies show that Lactobacillus plantarum 299v reduces abdominal pain and flatulence while other studies have found no effect. The most effect probiotics for IBS are Align (Bifidobacterium infantis) and VSL#3. Here are links to a previous message and to a review article on probiotics and IBS. Align is not available in Canada and it is quite expensive so I take Life Start and I have had reasonable success with it. However, it contains a small amount of milk. You could contact their Australian represent whose name and contact details are give on this web page to find out where you can purchase it.
