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 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 for Diarrhea "Terrible, quick, negative response with loud stomach growling and 3rd day/evening, blast of diarrhea keeping me in the bathroom with gas bloating. Very uncomfortable physically. No choice but to stop. Disappointed, hoping so much for help regulating the system and regular daily normal functions."

For Diarrhea "I started taking Acidophilus, and it really works. You can't stop taking it because it truly works. I was constantly hurting, my entire body was hurting, and especially my stomach. My mom told me about the Acidophilus, and I recommend this if you're having stomach issues like acid reflux or GERD. It helped me, and I'm currently taking it. It's been a week now. It cleans your gut, it makes you flush out all that bad bacteria in your gut and everywhere else. My stomach feels so much better. I hate the diarrhea, but it has slacked up. I feel so much better. This is day 9 of taking the Acidophilus, and whoever came up with this product should be a millionaire because this stuff saved my life. My body feels better 100%."
