I’ve tried Alflorex, Optibac women, Alflorex calm, Bio Kult , Starpowa friendly bacteria and Ferrocalm.

Alflorex and Bio Kult were the best imo out of all of them.

Both reasonably priced on Amazon.

I have tried many probiotics over the years. Alflorex worked best for me and has been scientifically studied for IBS. I take the original version.

Thanku I've ordered these 2 packs 2 give them a fair try off amazon , Hopefully will help .I've ordered original.

[xjrs in reply to Haptonvalley]

Good luck with them. Fingers crossed. Normally a 3 month trial is the best, but see how you get on.

Digestive Advantage probiotic with enzymes. You can get it at Walmart. They really help me.

My NHS Dietician recommended Symprove as it's been shown in trials to be effective for IBS -C. It takes a while to (up to 12 weeks) is quite expensive. It's available online from Symprove or you can buy it from Sainsbury. I've found it reduces bloating, cramping and I get a lot less constipation.

Take a look at "Just for tummies" online company. You can Linda who owns the company with her husband, she is so knowledgable,& will reply to any questions you have.she will go through all your symptoms & meds & suggest what you should take.My husband has had a flareup& been i hosp, iv anbiotics, pain relief. I contacted linda & she suggested a Charcoal cleanse for 5days, & live bacteria, & digestive enzymes for 30days .

He has done the cleanse which was fine, &is half way through his 30days & is doing really well.

Well worth a look.
