Customer Reviews of Align Digestive Care Probiotic Supplement, 28-Count
Customer Review: Align actually WORKS
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried tons of supposed "cures" before - Zelnorm never worked for me, and neither have over-the-counter medication. Special teas and other foods just made me even sicker, and I finding meals every night that wouldn't leave me in pain was quite the chore. Align was a last-ditch effort for me, and I am absolutely floored by it. Within a couple of days of taking it, I noticed a difference, and a week later, I'd never felt better since I was a teenager. With the exception of chocolate (alas!), all of my previous trigger foods no longer affect me. If I were a religious person, I'd almost want to call this a miracle. If you have IBS or other digestive conditions, and your doctor does NOT seem to really take you seriously (mine kept attributing my condition to anxiety, when anyone who knows me knows that I am extremely laid-back and stress-free), then you should definitely try Align.Customer Review: So disappointed!

I bought Align with the blessing of a pharmacist and a $5 coupon. "This will be the answer to my digestive prayers!" I thought, eagerly reading the instructions. A little extra gas and bloating in the first few days? No problem -- I don't remember a time when I didn't have gas and bloating, I can handle it! So I forgave the first weeks' worth of added discomfort. The second week was much the same. Surely the third week would open the floodgates of relief I've been waiting for! Nuh-uh. By the fourth week, this sometimes bloated, gassy, constipated and crabby person became a full-time bloated, gassy, constipated and crabby person. Now I wasn't the only one suffering, so was my poor husband rubbing my swollen belly. The day after I stopped taking Align my bowels came back to life. Ironic isn't it? It sounds like Align has done wonders for a lot of people. I just wish I was one of them.Customer Review: Didn't work for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I took this product for a month, but unfortunately, didn't get any sign of relief to want to continue. Maybe I needed to take it for a longer period, I don't know...I have IBS (C) and esophagitis...combined, my stomach has not been doing very well especially these past few months. Been taking Pantecta for the esophagitis, but the IBS is more tricky to control, so decided to give Align a try based on other reviews. Tried Accuflora-controlled Probiotic Acidophilus before that for at least 3 months and experienced no relief. I've now switched to Digestive Advantage's IBS capsules, as it's much cheaper and the box has 90 days' supply, which I believe will give me a long enough "trial" period...signed up for the automatic reorder in the hope that this will work...I guess with IBS, one has to try various products until you find one that works...will update in a few weeksCustomer Review: not working well for me

My gastro has been trying to get me to take it for my IBS. I started 2 days ago and have been quite miserable since. I have a terrible taste in my mouth similar to when I'm taking antibiotics. My stomach is bloated big time and is hard as a rock, its very hard for me to pass gas and it really hurts. My IBS alternates my biggest symptom is pain and its just making it worse. I know it takes 30 days to really accurately evaluate it BUT I dont see putting my body through this misery in the hope that it will be helpful. From what I've read on my ibs online support group, it works if you are diarrhea predominant for some, but others say their constpation is worse.
I wouldnt tell someone NOT to take it but I wouldnt expect miracles from it either. Unfortunately IBS is a very individualized disorder, so are its treatments, so for some it may be worth trying.
Customer Review: PAINFUL!
Summary: 1 Stars
I was "diagnosed" with IBS years ago and Zelnorm was the miracle drug for me but after awhile, I went off of it and never had an episode of IBS until recently, which was just mild. Heard of Align and had a $5 off coupon so thought I'd try it. Biggest mistake EVER! I only took this product for five days and the fifth day I took it was the WORST ever! The second day I was on it, I started to have a the feeling that I was trying to digest a million pieces of broken glass. I had the worst cramping and the bloating was almost unbearable. The last day I was on it, I was up all night with the worst painful cramps ever. I also did vomit. Never experienced anything like this ever. I wish this product worked for me as it has for others, but this product made my symptoms 1000% worse. The day after I stopped taking it, the painful cramping and bloating stopped.
