I took a high dose probiotic for about 4 months then switched to Align for the last 2 months. I have had no change in my bloating and pain except that I felt better as summer was coming on. I think technically probiotics are beneficial because we need to increase good bacteria and decrease the bad, but I don't think it will effectively change how we feel. I don't think IBS symptoms are caused by a lack of bacteria but probiotics are something that is good for health in general.

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
