Reviewing Digestive Advantage-IBS and Align
After approximately ten weeks of using Align ™ probiotic caplets, and filing my objective reports of the experience, I thought it was a pretty good product with some real problems in pricing and supply. {See my Align reviews}
Four weeks ago this past Monday, I started Digestive Advantage-IBS ™ (DA) […]

Taking Align for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)-Week 3

Into the third week with Align
The state of my tummy is degrading a bit. I am thinking that Align offers less probiotic than the NSI 15-35 formula I had been taking.

What do I mean by “degrading?”
I am more sluggish–that is, constipated. Also, I have had something like four episodes of reflux in five days. I’ve “medicated up” with both Ranitidine 150 (Zantac ™ 150)) and Prilosec ™. That means that

NSI - Probiotics for IBS? Scientific Studies? Lack of Response

0 Comments Published by tummyblogger July 20th, 2007 in Probiotics, NSI Probiotics

It will be three weeks tomorrow since I opened the correspondence with Neutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI) about their claim to have 200 scientific studies that backup their favorable claims. This claim, that 200 scientific studies support their products, seems to be used for each probiotic the company produces. It would be helpful to clarify this […]

Another Probiotic — for IBS?

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.
