Probiotics like acidophilus and Lactobacillus are found in yogurt. I would recommend getting it that way. The amount isn't as important as getting it regularly and getting live cultures. The point is to get it to colonize your digestive system. Once this happens, it will grow on its own, but will need constant "refreshing". Interestingly, Walmart brand yogurt (Great Value) has active live cultures of both Acidophilus and Lactobacillus, and, in my opinion is pretty tasty. There was a study recently in the news using lactobacillus that showed some positive results ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4938020.stm ). I'm not even sure the pills would have live cultures. The stuff is no good to you unless it is living.

Imagine your getting over a stomach bug. You can't throw heavy food into your system right away without a reaction. You stomach didn't produce an acid for awhile because there was nothing to digest. Do this, drink some gatorade to restore electrolytes, drink broth, eat some toast with a little butter. Don't go full on meals and go easy....little bites as well.

I too used to suffer from irritable colon, I tried many remedies in the market but nothing will work until I finally  realized that it was to do with the change in my diet that make me feel ill. In order to be more healthy I was eating a lot of fibre and much onions and garlic. Since I started consuming them in moderation and eating more carbohydrates all problem dissapeared. sometimes it is not good to change your diet drastically. So maybe it is to do with your diet, watch out!!!!

you need to remember that IBS is your bodys way of reacting to external factors .. if you can find out what is your triger and put a stop to that then you will have found your own cure.\nFor most people its stress so try to cut out as much stress as you can from your life but ALSO learn new ways to deal with it , things like yoga will help stress at the time of the class but will also actually teach your body that it doesnt need to send your intestine into spasm every time something yukky happens.\nAlso watch your diet, generally people who have IBS are very sensitive to what goes in their bodys .. if you put in crap expect to feel like crap.\nDrinking peppermint tea during the day and after meals can help a bit and you can purchase things like peppermint capsules that can help , but it doesnt mean that you have an axcuse to eat Polos all day long ;-) as that is not going to help you either.\nOh and drink plenty of water, cut tea and coffee out of the diet as well as they have a de-hydrating effect on the system .. and if you dont have enough water in your system its like asking a car engine to run without any oil in it.

Eat more slowly. \nChew your food thoroughly. \nAvoid gum chewing. \nRelax while you eat. \nAvoid beans, cabbage, and carbonated beverages. \nTry Beano, a product sold over-the-counter at most drugstores, if you eat a lot of beans, fruits, vegetables, and other high-fiber foods. \nWalk for 10 to 15 minutes after eating. \nDrink peppermint or chamomile tea after a meal. \nIn the case of those with lactose intolerance, intestinal bacteria feeding on lactose can give rise to excessive gas production when milk or lactose-containing substances have been consumed.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Flatulence.

I have IBS too and I got a lot of help from this site: http://www.helpforibs.com/ \n\nIt has a whole list of trigger foods, it explains quick remedies (peppermint and fennel tea), there's a recipe book you can get, and there's a message board for support. Fantastic site! It has really helped!

First, you have to visit your doctor to be more sure how you are going to resolve this problem. Is very important  to take a balance diet and eat healthy food (vegetables, grill meat, fruits etc)Anyways you can try galviscon, or prilosec. Now if you still having syntoms take azantac (their have diferent values) and if its worst take Nexium the purple pill. Please!!!!!! Eat at your hours, that is too necesary. Dont' give to your stomach long lapses of time without  meals. Take care...I don't want more people like me (with acid refluxs) that is really sad...And again take care because your life is very important!

No matter how great your diet is, you'll still toot once in a while!  :)  But if it's excessive and embarrassing, you might have some kind of food sensitivity (you aren't digesting properly).  You can try Bean-o or something like that, and see if it helps. Or try a simple elimination diet.  Eliminate a different food from your diet for a 3-4 day period and keep a diary of your tooting and see if any specific food group does it.

You should be going at least 3x's a week. or more. This is something you should check with you Dr about. If your passing alot of gas and/or are cramping It can be something serious. I had/have this problem for many yrs and I now have IBS.(irritable bowl syndrome) It's not a pleasant thing to have. Taking bulk fiber will help. laxatives can just cause cramps and gas.

Hi,\nYahoo health can get you to the link for IBS info.  The one I found info best was  aboutibs.org.  I usually don't like to recommend a specific product, but Dannon has a yogurt out called Activia that could be beneficial.  I have had IBS and attendent problems for quite a few years and the very best advice I can offer is educate yourself!  Don't ignore it and don't let it go.  If possible go to an Enterologist and enlist their aid.  Find one who will listen to you and will work with you to discover the needed treatment\n     Look to your ancestors also, for this is can be an inherited tendency.  Hope it is as simple as a reaction to a round of antibiotics, or a food you need to avoid, but definitely you will have to be your own best friend here.  Hope this is helpful!

First, stop worrying. Remember that your guts or intestine is like "other emotional organ". If you are worried or stressed it would only make worse the situation.\n2. Check out what you eat, always pay attention to your personal tolerance, everyday can be different.\n3. Some vegetables may worse the bloating: cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, celery. Beans cause bloating. Some fruitsmay cause problems: watermelon, cantaloupe (because they are high in fructose.)\n4. Your food must be cooked with little or nothing of fat, and prefer vegetable oils such olive or canole.\n5. Avoid spicy foods.\n6. Avoid sodas, because of the gas. Also avoid drinking with straws you would swallow air.\n7. Avoid sweeteners high in fructose.\n8. Also some fruits high in insoluble fiber may cause bloating, check out for apple, pear. \n9. You can have a health diet. Just avoid those foods when you already feel bad.

there are several web sites that you may find helpful, just type vasovagal into any search engine and you will get some information which you may find helpful, if these are of no help then go back and ask your doc why. I have ibs myself, but not as bad as yours by the sounds of it, you could try changing your diet ti help with the pain, i find a wheat free diet very helpful, that is if you haven't already tried various diets. Good luck

Depends on what kind of digestive problems you are having. Gas? Trouble defecating? Try eating some yogurt to give your gastro-intestinal (GI)  tract a boost with some extra good bacteria. You could have irratible bowel sydrome (IBS). Maybe think about seeing a doctor?
