  • Is there a certain brand that you would recommend ? are they all pretty much the same ?

  • I haven't been sleeved as of yet. I go next Thursday. I am hoping that by changing my entire way of eating will help with the IBS. My intestinal tract has been my Achilles heal my whole life. All

I have irritable bowel syndrome. Probiotics is a large part of my daily regimen. I swear by them. I talked to my surgeon and he is very on board with it. I am on a regimen of fiber as well. It is important for me to be diligent in order for me to be 'regular' and minimize my IBS flare-ups.

I have IBS too but have noticed w weight loss I have not had a severe episode requiring meds. I have not been sleeved yet but was wondering if u had any improvements since the sleeve?

When did you start taking them.after your surgery? I was good no fiber or probiotics until 6 weeks.

My doctor also suggested probiotics because I would get a lot of gas... they really help.

I use Schiff brand Digestive Advantage Intense Bowel Support. I also use fiber capsules in addition. I have found that the combination of both help keep my flare-ups to a minimum. It's been a long time since I've had problems, but then I haven't missed a day, either.
