Hi Syl, Now that I am pretty much stable and it is easier to see what helps and hurts my IBS, I have found acidophilis to help me. In school also, they always recommend to try acidophilis to anyone with any sort of digestive problem. I know you always said that there was no research about it but I looked it up and it does say it helps with digestion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactobacillus_acidophilus Why do you say it does not help with IBS, just wondering where you heard? It is good to get the intestinal bacteria back to normal isn't it. Maybe it doesn't have a direct effect on IBS but I think most of us have IBS for different reasons don't you think. MAybe sometimes its not due to the lack of bacteria but sometimes it is. Especially if you had an eating disorder, wouldn't it be good to try to get the bacteria back in to balance?
