Probiotics have been extensively studied for their potential benefits in preventing and treating Diarrhea Diarrhea is often caused by an imbalance of gut bacteria, and Probiotics are known to support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Medical research suggests that certain strains of Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Saccharomyces boulardii, have been effective in reducing the duration and severity of Diarrhea episodes in specific populations, including children and individuals taking antibiotics.
One study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews assessed the effectiveness of Probiotics for preventing antibiotic-associated Diarrhea (AAD). The researchers reviewed 39 studies involving a total of 11,811 participants and found that taking Probiotics alongside antibiotics reduced the incidence of AAD by around 50%. Additionally, Probiotics were found to be safe with minimal side effects.
Had my gallbladder removed this past May and have had Diarrhea almost daily since. I heard align was helpful for people with my issues. Been taking it for 7 days and Diarrhea disappeared. Align must help with the overload of bile that has been present in my gut since surgery. I'm no longer a probiotic sceptic. 5 STAR
Read More...I've had bad Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) since I was a child. I would have Diarrhea multiple times a week with horrible pains and cramping. I would spend hours in the bathroom and it negatively impacted so many aspects of my life. My parents and I tried everything--tracking foods to see if I had triggers, cutting out gluten, cutting out dairy, cutting out eggs, low FODMAP diet, EVERYTHING--but nothing seemed to help. I didn't hear about probiotics until I was in college and a new gastroenterologist recommended them. This changed my life. As long as I take them every day, ideally along with an Activia yogurt, my IBS episodes are cut down dramatically. I still have attacks occasionally, but it is night and day from what it was before. I will be taking Align for the rest of my life and I pray they never stop making it! It is truly a godsend. Whoever invented these probiotic strains, you have my eternal thanks. I would highly recommend that other IBS sufferers try Align or some other probiotic. It doesn't work for everyone, but it certainly worked for me
Read More...I absolutely love this product. It was recommended to me by a gastroenterologist. Prior to taking it I had annoying IBS symptoms and I actually had a bought of C Diff colitis. I have been taking it for well over a year and I no longer have gas, gas pain, bloating, constipation, or Diarrhea. I will continue to take this product for as long as I live. It is absolutely wonderful and it has no side effects. I believe that a lot of people would benefit from this product. It's just that people are so prone to wanting to take a "medication" before taking a supplement. If you have any doubts, try it for a week or two. I had symptoms relief in 3 days
Read More...I originally bought these on doctor's orders because I got severe, severe Diarrhea from taking amoxicillin. Hard to tell if they helped. But this time around I am taking it three hours after I take my new antibiotic. Very little Diarrhea. Honestly don't know if that is because I am on a different antibiotic or because I started the probiotic at the same time as the new antibiotic. The answer could be both. I intend to buy it again when I run out. WARNING: In case you didn't know, you should start or continue with your probiotics while taking antibiotics. But you need to wait a minimum of two hours after ingesting the antibiotic to take the probiotic. This is because the antibiotic will interfere with the efficacy of the probiotic
Read More...Align has literally changed my life. I'd been suffering from IBS for years and it was getting progressively worse. It got so I could expect a severe bout of Diarrhea at least once a week. I've had colonoscopies regularly and there is no physical problem there. So I decided I didn't have anything to lose by trying this. It didn't work immediately. It took a couple of months to get my system healthy, but now the IBS is a thing of the past. Even if I do have symptoms, which is rarely, it only takes 2 Immodium pills to get it under control, where before I had to take 5 or 6. I also did change to decaf coffee just in case that was affecting me, though I only drink a couple of cups a day. I know that there are cheaper brands that say they are as effective, but you couldn't pay me to change
Read More...I have had a problem for years with Diarrhea (since my gallbladder was removed). I have tried many different remedies. I went to a new gastroenterologist and she recommended that I try Align. Within a week, I was so much better. The Diarrhea has disappeared and I don't have the constant bloating that I did previously. For anyone experiencing digestive problems, I highly recommend this product
Read More...Reset my gut bacteria after being hospitalized from celiac. At first, they gave me massive Diarrhea (probably because my gut bacteria was so off) but stick with it because after a few days, it hardened my soft stools and helped with other symptoms such as shortness of breath from intestinal inflammation and GERD related symptoms
Read More...This product does seem to work well. I had Diarrhea and after a few months on this product, it's basically gone. However, to note, at first it didn't seem to do much, and the changes were very slow and gradual over time to become better and it's hard to notice the changes over the short term. Over the long term looking back however I know this product works. I also combine this with taking activia dailies which may also help. The price is kind of steep on this product but it's worth it for the results you get taking it, just don't expect anything to change overnight
Read More...Taken at night chged my life after a week. Maybe it was the many meds but im regular for the first time in years
