I'm taking Align for 2 weeks. Does do nothing but constipation and gas. I'll stop today. What a waste of money.

My experience has been horrible. I suffer from constipation and hoped this would work. I have been taking it for a week and have such extreme bloating and stomach pain that I feel bruised from the inside. I have only had 2 BMs. I will quiting this treatment today. I made the decision to take it over my Christmas break (teacher) and have had an absolutely awful week. I researched opionios of others and thought that if I could just hang it there it would get better. However, it doesn't tell you that if you are experiencing pain to stop. It encourages you to hang in there. I am assuming that the bacteria in my body must be worse than anyones elses or else the Align wouldn't be working so darn hard and debilitating me in the process. I hope others have had better expriences. I wish that I could go back a week and never purchased this supplement. Best wishs-insane in Indiana. Read More Read Less

I've been taking Align for 4 weeks now. I haven't been diagnosed with IBS-D because I've been controlling it myself (3 years) without my Dr's help. Anyway.. I used to take Immodium about two times a week & I think in the passed month i've only taken it 2 times.. So that's twice a week to twice a month. I definitely feel that Align his helping me. The only draw back i'm seeing is that i'm gassy in the morning when i wake up. Maybe i should switch to taking it at dinner (early evening) instead of before i go to bed at night (late evening). I won't say it's perfect for me because i had an issue just two days ago, however, i was having issues 2/3 times a week before i started taking Align. It is a pricey medication, but you can get a good deal (right now) by purchasing it on Ebay. I paid full price on my first box and then bought a 2 pack of 28 on-line for the same price I paid in-store. I will continue to take it unless it stops helping. I do recommend it for people to try who are as desperate as i was to stop the panicky feeling of *where's the bathroom?? where??* when you're out & about. You know what i mean. :) Read More Read Less

What you have to be aware of with probiotics is that many of them either contain soy or milk. This probiotic has milk. So if you are a person like myself who is already suffering from gas, these two ingredients dont serve to help the problem. I have also bought the more expensive flora source and found the capsule hard to pass. CVS and most drug stores have an acidophillus that is inexpensive, 4.99 for 100. I take one after each meal and it has help cut down my gas and keeps me regular. My doctor told me I could take 6 a day if I wanted, that it would not hurt me. Hope this info is helpful, Good luck and God Bless.Read More Read Less

I began taking Align for my IBS symptoms... instead of being extremely bloated, crampy & constipated, I'm now going to the bathroom at least once a day, but it's never solid... and I can't hold my movements anymore. It's really just more like diarrhea. I bought a 7 week pack & am almost 3 weeks into it... plan on taking it the full 7 weeks to see what happens. Hoping it'll do more good than harm.

After 1.5 years on presc for reflux I went straight to Align and have had no problem --- except after 3-4 weeks now, after a BM for HOURS I have burning - guess it is what it feels like to have hemmorids! Will start taking every other day and see if that subsides because I don't want to go back on prescriptions.

About a week after I started using Align, my hands and arms broke out. I had itchy raised bumps on both my hands which spread to my arms. It did not help with my IBS -I still only went 1-2 times a week.

used it to control IBS but may have also caused decrease in allergic reaction that would result in asthma. I have grass allergies and have been using steriod spray to control. Have not used spray in a week
