Costco Has Cheaper Align ™ Online — Or Do They?

2 Comments Published by tummyblogger August 27th, 2008 in Probiotics, IBS therapy, Align, Online sources

Thanks to Darlene, who wrote in a comment that she had found Align on the Costco website, for $24.99. The hitch is that they require you to purchase two packages at once. They also tack on a 5% surcharge for non-members. Then the shipping charge for standard shipping is 8.50. Here’s the total:
2 @ 24.99 […]

Background
For more information on the importance of soluble fiber in the dietary approach to IBS, see these earlier posts:

Fiber 101b.
Today’s web adventure:
Today, as I placed a regular supplement order with Vitacost.com, I somehow saw a long list of products. From idle curiosity, I scrolled down the page. I noticed […]

That was it. […]

“Attacking the Bacteria that Causes IBS” - An Interesting Advertising Phrase

0 Comments Published by tummyblogger September 11th, 2007 in Probiotics, Amazon, general, IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Online sources

Amazon is, or customers are, tagging some of its products with “IBS,” and hoping to generate some sales. As one of their “other” ads, they have a one-line ad for Digestrin which runs as follows:
Suffering From IBS? — Attack The Bacteria That Causes IBS And Eliminate The Sumptoms Today — www.digestrin.com
While there is potentially much […]

Benefiber in the Past
In reviewing the statistics for this growing blog, I notice that one of the most frequently used keywords is Benefiber. I imagine that people are checking out whether Benefiber is a good choice for a soluble fiber. Indeed, there used to be three soluble fibers on the market that I could recommend; […]

Summer Travel with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

0 Comments Published by tummyblogger July 27th, 2007 in fiber, Amazon, IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS Triggers, IBS food, Online sources

Summer Travel has a number of hazards for a person with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Traveler’s Diarrhea
Chancy Diet
Stress
Absence of facilities
Getting over-tired
Did I say stress?

First of all, avoid carbonated drinks and ice water. And, drink plenty of cool, not cold, water.
One element of the travel kit that I have used with success–and there’s no payoff for mentioning […]

Probiotics are in the news that people with IBS have been following. They are a selling feature for Activia yogurt and DanActive cottage cheese. I have a category just for probiotics. The makers of Align will be going all out to promote their probiotic for the

For those who are interested in the claims for other probiotics besides Align, here is the copy writer’s description of the probiotic I use, distributed by VitaCost. It’s an example of the multiple probiotic approach rather than the single-strain approach. I’m not trying to sell this, or Align. Instead I’d like to provide information, and develop information, about the use of probiotics in IBS-C and IBS-D.
