I was just wondering if probiotics like align, etc. cause diarrhea and/or cramping when you first start taking them?If they do, I'd rather pick a time when I know I won't be leaving the house much to try them.Thanks for any feedback

For some people, yes. But apparently that side effect can go away with time for some folks.Here is an article I found that discusses this:http://www.livestrong.com/article/527919-do-probiotics-cause-gas/

Please remember this is a group of folks seeking support on how to live with and manage IBS. THESE ARE ONLY MY OWN THOUGHTS. IF YOU WANT AN EXPERT OPINION, ASK A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
