As anyone tried probiotics and had any success with them? I'm still struggling to get in my protein most days so there's not much room for veggies. I take fiber gummies but they're not doing the trick. In a pinch I do some magnesium caplets but wondering if probiotics are working for anyone?

I too had researched on line and I thought that magnesium was the answer to all my problems(re:BM). So I tried it also taking about 1000 mg's a day.................It made me so backed up that I had to take a day off work and needless to say it was an awful experience and will NEVER take it again. I have been taking pearl probiotics(recommended on this site) and it has been a godsend, unbelievable how well it works actually. I actually grew an intolerance to Miralax after taking it for about a year, it just stopped working. I guess different remedies work for different people.

Ok how much magnesium are you guys taking? One night I was desperately searching the internet for solutions (I refuse to take anymore laxatives) and kept coming across magnesium. After hours of reading I decided this was the cure! So I hopped in my car and went to walgreens. I got exactly what I thought I needed, but figured I would ask the pharmacist just to be safe. She said absolutely not that it would help me. and said try miralax (been there, done that, only had bloating and cramps) so I left defeated empty handed. but I'm not so sure she just wasn't clueless. So, about this magnesium....how much helps? At this point I don't think anything will help.

I have to say, the Align has solved all issues for me. I've been out of it for a few days and the difference is obvious. I hope it works for someone else who tries it too. I might try the pearl ones, but what I like about Align is that it doesn't require refrigeration which allows me to put it in my pill box with my other vitamins and ensure it gets taken.

I take Pearl and didn't have it for a few days and totally felt the difference.
