For Constipation "Acidophilus is now the only supplement / medication I take to manage constipation which is a side-effect of opiod medications which I've been taking for a number of years. Prior to my adding acidophilus (capsule form) to my regime, constipation was a chronic problem causing me constant concern and trying various remedies, none of which worked until I came upon acidophilus. This has truly worked wonders."

Acidophilus (lactobacillus acidophilus) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am a person who has suffered from constant yeast infections for a long time.If you stared too hard at me I might catch one .Everything irritated me from body wash/jacuzzi water/ or anything with a scent would have me right back in the dr's office. I usually prefer diflucan pills because it works but I wanted to try a different route because even though diflucan gets rid of the problem,it seems to always come back.I bought these pills from a local Walgreens and I took one orally and it did make me feel a little weird and I inserted one vaginally but it did not hurt.Slight stinging every so often but it's nothing major.I hope this works !"

For Clostridioides difficile Infection "I have had quite remarkable relief of severe bloating and sluggish bowel motility. This had continued for three full months without relief. I was even begging for surgery to find out what was wrong. My abdomen was so distended that my lung capacity (per spirometer) was 1/3 to 1/2 of normal, I got winded just climbing stairs at home and I could not sing (I'm a choir director). I could not sit upright in a chair or car and I felt about 10 1/2 months pregnant! I had been on antibiotics for several weeks before this problem started. Within 3 days of starting prescription strength lactobacillus, I was back to wearing most of my regular clothes, was able to do a full day of errands without stopping, and could sing again and dropped 6.5 pounds."

For Urinary Tract Infection "I just started using the Rephresh-B and it is great! I've been to numerous doctors and spent a fortune on Monistat and all the antibiotics over the years. This stuff works right away to clear up the smell, discomfort, and general aggravation of yeast infections, IBS, UTI, and BV! I love it and will continue to use it forever. Thanks to the Drs who created it. It changes your life for the better!"

Acidophilus (lactobacillus acidophilus) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I recently started taking Jardiance for my diabetes, and immediately developed a yeast infection (a common side effect). I picked up an OTC treatment, which worked, but I wanted something that would work long term, so I invested in the slightly more expensive acidophilus, with the billion cultures (at CVS). I take one each day, but if it gets a bit itchy, I take another and that gets my system back on track!"

Acidophilus Extra Strength (lactobacillus acidophilus) "I love this stuff. I've been taking for years just to keep regulated as I got older I started having chronic BV, and abdominal pain. I'm not consistent in anything but I know that every time I feel symptoms come on. I take 2 and instantly feel the pain ease away. By the morning all smells are gone. I swear but this stuff. It does make you a little gassy but I'll take gas over a smell any day. If you do experience gas e.t.c just stop taking it for a day or 2!!"

Lactinex (lactobacillus acidophilus) "This is the first drug that I've ever used that stops my cold sores from the beginning if you begin taking it right away. The product is sold in the pharmacy and comes with about 50 tablets. I can't believe how great it works I've suffered for years with cold sores and this product works perfectly for me."

Acidophilus (lactobacillus acidophilus) for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I've been having recurring yeast infections for about 6 months now. It's been hell. I used Boric Acid, but it only provided temporary relief and the infection kept coming back. I did some research online and learned about Acidophilus. I read the reviews which were all positive. Today, I bought my first bottle and took one. Surprisingly, I'm starting to feel better down there. I highly recommend this to any woman dealing with recurring yeast and Bacterial Vaginosis."

Bacid (LAC) (lactobacillus acidophilus) "This is the only medicine that is keeping my daughter alive and now it is stopped being made - now my daughter has to die because of it. That is not right. Plus I just found out tonight and I am also told that her Medicaid won't pay for it. From a concerned Mother. "

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "YES! L-Acidophilus is excellent for IBS, particularly for the weird, somewhat abstract and oblique stomach uncomfortableness. However, I find that taking two capsules 3 to 4 times a day (preferably on an empty stomach) is the best way. I use L-Acidophilus as an adjunct to my once-a-day regular, more comprehensive probiotic. Always store refrigerated."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I used to suffer from chronic vaginal yeast infections. Then I started taking Rephresh Pro B Probiotic and as long as I take one every day I remain yeast infection free.

For Irritable Bowel Syndrome "The last year I have suffered greatly from colitis. I began researching other treatments and medicines because whatever the doctor gave me did little to combat. I was miserable - diarrhea, nausea, cramping, especially in the mornings, and EVERY time I ate. Could not go anywhere without an episode. After one week I noticed a difference. After 2 weeks nausea and cramping very minimal. After 3 weeks I am off ALL other medicines. I SWEAR by this."
