I have IBS and I also had 2 pancreatic surgeries. My intestines are really messed up. I take Andrew Lesman's Fibermucil (4 daily) and a probiotic. I used to take Align but it did nothing. I've been taking A. Lesman's Ultimate Freindly Flora for about a year and I'm much better. I don't go anywhere without knowing where the restrooms are. As many of you have said, there are times I can't go out. I bought the VSL #3 (expensive) my doctor suggested it but I haven't tried it yet. Im fine so far with what I'm taking, so I'll see. I have to go on anti biopics for a laser procedure on my teeth. I dread what's going to happen from taking them That's when I'll take the VSL #3. They also make a higher strength but the doctor said start low. I hope everyone feels better.

Hello,
Not with IBS, but with constipation and pelvic infection. The last time I had a problem with these, the doctor prescribed not one, not two, but three courses of antibiotics which made the infection worse.
I found out from Women to Women this is the worst thing you can do.
They suggested probiotics. I ate an ordinary piece of Kraft cheese (slices in package) and it all disappeared! That was 10 years ago. I have never had a problem since.
So, cheese for constipation and irregularity and for pelvic infection. It will probably help you with IBS too.
Good luck!

It's true that some things don't work the same in everybody. Thinking back, I think my mother had IBS but wasn't well known then. Her doctor told her it was all in her head. I'm not a fan of doctors either.
@frenchie Andrew Lessman produces Fibermucil in capsule form, taken with food, more gentle, really works.

Probiotics changed my life! I had several bouts of diverticulitis with the last one landing me in the hospital for 3 days. My doctor told me I HAD to take probiotics daily and his choice for me was Florastor. It has been 4 1/2 years now and I'm doing fine. Probiotics made a terrific difference. Make sure you get a really good brand....this is not the time to be cheap! I get mine from Costco and that's the best price I've found. Good luck. Oh, I am 77 if that makes any difference!
