As you know Leslie Davis, most doctors recommend Align. I had a GI doc recommend it to me 11 or 12 years ago, I tried it and couldn't use it, it didn't agree with me or my finances. There are numerous other probiotics out there. I checked out a couple others that didn't agree with me either, so I gave up on them up until about a year ago. I also have IBS-C along with horrible intestinal spasms. I knew I had to do something, so I tried the Align again and now it works for me. I don't know what changed, but something did. Now, I don't have near as many of the intestinal spasms like I use to, they used to be worse than Charlie horses in your legs. The only suggestion that I can make Leslie, is for your daughter to try a couple of the other probiotics that are out there, what may work for me may not necessarily work for your daughter. I was diagnosed in the fall of 1982 with IBS-C and I know I had for years prior to that, that's why I went to get checked out. It takes two or three weeks to get use to using probiotics. IBS is a pain in everyone's rear. Have a great day.

There are so many pre and pro biotics out there! Currently I am using Digestive Advantage. Also I am starting a new product from Silverfern that is supposed to help with acid reflux .
