To me, Nature's Way "Primadophilis" (original) works great...and I only have to take one capsule at night...usually when I get up to take a bathroom run... and they are reasonably priced. (It works best taken on an empty stomach)

I think Vsl3 works good for us but I didnt try it yet,i just heared that it is good for us and wanna try that

and i tried protexin protect and it work for me about 50%

Anything above 5billion per capsule will do you good. Have a look on Iherb. I use jarrow formulas plus FOS and i find it very good for my allergies and ibs. iherb.com/?rcode=QWV374

Don't take acidophilus take pure probiotics without any dairy, what, sugar etc.....

For me, Natren's Healthy trinity works great, to be taken 1 capsule a day on empty stomach before meal. I have been taking since last more than 1.5 yrs and it works great for IBS.

Hi Lib1, I have been taking Natures Best Acidophilus 10 (billion) for 2 months and then switched to the 4 once I thought my good bacteria had been topped up enough!

They seem to work for me so far (fingers crossed). You have to take them on an empty stomach. I did some research before I bought them and it seems that most probiotics don't reach the gut and therefore aren't doing their job. The reviews for this product are good and the customer service seems to be good too, very friendly and helpful.

Good luck in finding what works for you.

Not what you're looking for?
