Customer Review: When four stars are really three three and a half
Summary: 4 Stars
The product (Align) seems to do what it claims, but it took substantially longer than the promo and directions suggested. I plan to keep using it over a longer period of time to see if the improvement lasts.Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very skeptical about probiotics since there's not a lot of research proving they work. After many, many tests and prescriptions that didn't work, I gave it a try as a last ditch effort. Now I've been using it for a year and a half. It worked for me when nothing else did; it has literally changed my life.Customer Review: I feel "normal" again.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had IBS-A for years, but it developed gradually so I didn't take it seriously until it severely impacted my life. Fear of colonoscopy kept me from seeing a doctor and therefore suffering longer than necessary which was silly, because when I finally saw a doctor he immediately diagnosed IBS - no colonoscopy required.
My doctor suggested a gradual approach & recommended I start with fiber supplements (Citrucel to be exact) and a medication to help with sudden flare-ups. When that didn't provide nearly as much relief as I had hoped for he said it might be as good as it gets, so I asked about other possible treatments he had mentioned during my initial consultation and only then did he recommend Align, siting it over other brands because of its ingredients.
Taking Align sporadically doesn't work. I know, because it took me three weeks to get through a week's worth of capsules. However, after taking it faithfully for two weeks as prescribed it is working wonders! I feel 97% like a normal person and I hope symptoms continue to improve with continued use.
BTW, yogurt didn't work for me. Per my doctor, yogurt doesn't contain the same beneficial bacteria as Align.
Customer Review: probiotic
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have stomach problems thi might be the answer.
It puts the digestive bacteria in the stomach and helps with digestion and elimination.
I would check with my physician first to see if it would cause any complications.
Customer Review: May work for many but I will NEVER take it again!!

I used this for 3 months before realizing Align was the culprit that made me more constipated than I've ever been in my entire life!! I'm a very active, clean eating, health conscious 37 yr old female and I am a huge advocate of probiotics as they've not only helped some of the symptoms of IBS (e.g. bloating, occasional constipation, gas, diarrhea, etc.) that I've had for about 15 yrs but I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my immune system. Since Align has coupons, commercials, great reviews & is even available at Costco I figured why not switch from my Swanson brand products that I order via the internet (one month supply is about $14 & they've worked for me for about the last year) to something I can get at almost any store if I run out? Here's a big moral to the story is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" thing >>> Well I was so miserable I had to resort to taking Miralax & STILL wasn't feeling like I was emptying out completely (sorry to be so blunt but you since you're reading reviews for this product I figure you can handle it LOL). I finally realized that the only thing I'd really changed in my diet recently was that I ADDED ALIGN. I stopped taking Align & within a few days I'm almost back to normal. Good Lord it was getting so bad I was about to buy an enema-yuck! Align may work for many people & that's great but pay close attention to how it effects you so you don't go through the misery I did. Good luck!
