And... she lived happily ever after...

I wanted to tell you my story because I really want to help everyone out there that suffers from IBS. I am 98% cured from my IBS-D.

I will tell you my story and you can decide. When I was younger I suffered from lots of colds and allergies continuously and was prescribed antibiotics all the time. I think that this had a lot to do with my future "IBS". When you take antibiotics they kill everything, not just the bad bacteria but also the good and that's why by taking probiotics you are taking "good" bacteria to balance the "flora" in your intestines. (I am not a doctor so I tell you how I understood it). About 10 years ago I developed the beginnings of my syndrome. This "monster" took my life and turned it over... I can tell you of the many times that I had to run from "wherever" to a bathroom with such embarrassment that it don't even want to remember.. I have ran out of a dentist's office in the middle of a treatment because I couldn't "hold-it" anymore and ended up going to the "bathroom" in my car, as I was driving home like a maniac and crying, hoping not to be stopped by a cop! Only someone with IBS can relate to that! I can write many stories about these "accidents", like I know all of you can.

When I finally thought that I had colon cancer, or something similar, I went to see doctors, internists and specialists and after all the tests and my final colonoscopy, all they could tell me was that I had IBS. That was it! Also, that there was no cure for it!. So, I started reading and searching the web for information about IBS. The results were definitely; I had to start taking probiotics. It's been almost two years and as of today I am almost cure as long as I don't stop. I started with yogurts but they were too weak and too expensive (if you have to have 4 a day). Then I changed to pills. I took one (live bacteria) probiotic every morning and my life was "normal" again. I stopped drinking caffeine or alcohol (not even a glass of wine) because they were too strong for me. I could eat everything!!

That's my secret. I hope it will help you.

I found an outstanding article in "Healthy Living Magazine" on probiotics, and I found the magazine online. Check it out at www.healthylivingmag.com and you'll see it on the front page; in the middle of the page. Nothing can compare to this. Probiotics are so good for so many other ailments too! Make sure to check the right side of the article on the "health conditions" and discover the benefits of probiotics!

The probiotics I take are great because they go right to your "gut" and they don't get dissolved by the acids in your stomach before reaching your intestines. Try to get them from a store that is "reliable" and have the organisms (bacteria) alive (check their due date). Remember if you stop your probiotics, the "monster" will definitely come back!
