		<title>&#8220;Old&#8221; Treatments for IBS</title>
		<description>I just wrote that the studies had not been done, that compared or used treatments for IBS that cannot be marketed as drugs. That appears to be incorrect: see this news item.

		<title>IBS Treatment, IBS Treatments</title>
		<description>On formytummy.com, I've talked about probiotics and prebiotics, fiber in the diet, brand names of products that are helpful, or not, and most of all, diet as a treatment for IBS. 

But what is "Treatment for IBS" in an overall sense? You have a diagnosis of IBS, fine. Well, actually, ...</description>

		<title>Probiotics for IBS &#8212; An Everyday Thing, Really?</title>
		<description>Seriously, yes. Recommended, effective, pill-form probiotics need to be taken every day -- possibly for the rest of your life.

Several comments have asked this question. To keep IBS at bay in a gentle and effective manner, probiotics are a part of the solution. 

I recognize that expense is an issue, ...</description>

		<title>Costco Has Cheaper Align &#8482; Online &#8212; Or Do They?</title>
		<description>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. ...</description>

		<title>Activity on ForMyTummy</title>
		<description>I have not written articles recently, except for those that decry the claims made by Dannon Activia. 

I do pay attention to anyone who writes a comment for this blog, and answer as soon as possible.

		<title>Activia Ad with Jamie Lee Curtis</title>
		<description>See also the post on Dannon Activia.
You've got to be skeptical about the benefits of Activia when the ad I saw tonight said: "Eighty-seven percent of us report some problems with regularity and can ["therefore" is implied] benefit from Dannon Activia, with bifidis regularis." That is my paraphrase of what ...</description>

Probiotics in pills  or capsules that protect against stomach acid, GOOD. 
Probiotics in food, exposed to digestive juices all the way to the gut, BAD.
