Probiotics....oh, and calcium?

So I had a nutritionist recommend that I add probiotics into my daily routine. I tried acidophilus and it made my gut just ache. I took it for 3 days to see if it changed and the ache was there until I eliminated the probiotics. Is this common -- did I perhaps take them incorrectly? Or is acidophilus not recommended for IBS sufferers and I just got bad advice?

Is there a good way to supplement my calcium intake? I have IBS-A and am severely underweight. I know that I am lacking in a variety of key nutrients but don't even know where to begin.....everything says it can be constipating or cause diarrhea.....sheesh :/

Thanks for the help!
