I have been reading that prebiotics help probiotics in controlling ibs symptoms. Some of these supplements can be costly and I am hoping to get information from other members if they use both prebiotics & probiotics. Are prebiotics really effective ? Do you find probiotics effective? Any side effects from them ? What supplements work best for you if you take these ? So many to chose from !

Has any one tried.

Natural vitamin B12.

Reading a book by Author David Brownstein, MD.
Book title is
Heal Your Leaky Gut

B12 helps clear up constipation, diarrhea and bloating after meals.

Just wondering if it works for helping with IBS.

Have been to numerous health professionals and no one has help. Suggestions?

My old GP diagnosed me 10 years ago with IBS but i never knew i should have seen a specialist until now. I'm just wondering how many more out there haven't seen a specialist

I have had IBS for several years. Recently I havent wanted to eat much because of the pain after I eat. I also have Acid reflex and PCOS. I try different things but everything seems to make the pain worse and i get really bad cramps that make me double over a lot...i also throw up a lot of things i eat cause of the pain any suggestions

I take probiotics everyday but my probiotic also has an acidophilus in it. But my question is if the FDA has not approved this product how can these companies sell it on the market

I just recently started taking a good strong probiotic and peppermint oil caps. Has anyone else had any luck with doing this for their IBS-D?
