I just picked up because it was so popular on the boards.  I do remember that PB8 did pretty well, as did either Enzymatic Therapy Bio beads or Natrol biobead. One of those beady ones! But I wanted a multistrain one.
I was taking Udo's Choice, but that one wasn't rated either.

Does Consumer Report have a website? I'd be interested in reading this article.

I've thought about trying Udo's too! However, the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies for me here. I love the effect of my Jarrow, so I'm sticking with it. It has helped me, DH and son so very much. I think everyone ought to take one!

The entire Consumer Reports article is only available to subscribers. Your local library should carry Consumer Reports - the article was in the July 2005 issue. Here's the summary on the CR Website.
I have to agree with Maria and Beth about Consumer Reports. Their review is not a case of people being asked what they think about a probiotic. As I understand it, CR either tests in their own labs or has independent labs test products they are evaluating. I don't personally recall any type of scandal associated with CR's testing and evaluations.
Even assuming CR found that Primal Defense does not contain as many CFU as labelled, it doesn't change the fact the Primal Defense works for you and, presumably, for other people. It simply means that probiotics exist in a gray area, where standards and dosages haven't yet been established by long-term scientific studies.

I took 12 up to 18 per day for a year. It helped most out of all the supplements accept Coconut oil. But not happy with it.

How much of it did you take? I would think that the fat would be horrible for IBS.
