Hi bellalily. Sorry to hear about the IBS. I have it also, due to my autoimmune disorders so I know how miserable it can be. I'm glad you're trying probiotics. If the ones you are using don't work for you I wanted to tell you that there is a company that makes a special probiotic just for people like us with IBS, colitis and crohns. It's the highest potency you can buy in a probiotic and it works fast. It's called VSL #3. check out their website when you get a chance.
It's a little more expensive than other brands you might find, but you're also getting 112 billion cfu's per pill and it's all cultures specifically for bowel disorders. I take two a day for 225 billion and it works wonders. My mother has to take the bigger dose for colitis, but she has been flare up free now for a couple of years because of it.
They have free two day shipping and mail it in a foam insulated cooler with ice packs so that it stays cold and doesn't risk killing the bacteria. It's a great company and fantastic product. So it's something to keep in mind for the future. To me, pain free is well worth paying extra.
