Lactobacillus acidophilus "I've suffered with IBS-C for years, with constant, painful bloating that neither my doctor nor I could get under control. It got so bad sometimes I looked double my size. I started reading articles about probiotics and tried a few that did NOT work and felt some others made it worse. I kind of gave up with my doctor figuring it out, so I spoke with my pharmacist instead. I asked her to recommend what she thought may actually help, and she said Florajen acidophilus, and IT ACTUALLY HELPED. I can finally go to the bathroom every day, my painful bloating has subsided. I take it every night at 10 pm like clockwork, with or without food in my stomach. The next morning I have a cup of coffee and instantly need the bathroom. This amazing refrigerated pill has been a lifesaver! I've had no issues with side effects whatsoever, and my stomach actually feels better for the first time in years!"

Lactobacillus acidophilus "Florajen is what I use for a daily probiotic supplement. At first, it was for easing my constipation, and now that I don't experience that issue, I use it for general well-being. I have no yeast infection problems, my digestion is wonderful, and my happiness is tip-top. I have a better sense of well-being, and I can appreciate that overall."

Lactobacillus acidophilus "I have suffered with constipation for years after having major surgery. The pain would be in my lower back and made it difficult for me to stand, particularly in the early morning. I have been taking over-the-counter acidophilus pills three times a day with meals, and I don't experience the excruciating pain anymore. I carry my pills in my purse. I highly recommend these tablets."

"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 it. 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 two weeks, nausea and cramping were very minimal. After three weeks, I am off all other medicines. I swear by this."

Lactobacillus acidophilus "When the pharmacist told me to use this medication Intestinex, I was in deep pain. The relief was awesome. Now, after a year, I'm back with the pain, so I'm trying it once again, hoping for the same results. Thanks."

Lactobacillus acidophilus "I first saw this on TV ads for yogurt. I bought the pills, and after just a few days, I feel great. I used to get pain in my lower back, not anymore. I haven't even told my doctor yet. This stuff is great!"

"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."

Lactobacillus acidophilus "I have had irritable bowel syndrome for over 17 years. First, they could do nothing for me but prescribe antispasmodics, which eventually I developed an allergy against. After going to a DO, she recommended I try natural medications such as fiber and acidophilus. I started taking it and I have never felt better! I recommend it to anyone with digestion problems."
