yes daily yoghurt like yakult should be able to help.

im also a suffering frm ibs.. diagnosed by doc bout 2 years back.. took me one whole year to actually start living with it and not worrying bout it 24/7.. its really tough.. main symptom im havin 's gassy tummy n constipation..
nevr tried probiotics. .. but did take yogurt continuously for a few months back then.. gave up after not having any positive effect..
so wad say ya'll.. probiotics can help relieve gas too?

probiotics may help in promoting healthy digestive system, and therefore in hope to reduce the disorder of IBS.

i also having the gas symptom of ibs, but it seems does not really suffered to me,i suffer from diarrhea, constipate or fatigue...but after i taking the probiotics, totally the ibs symptom is reduced or not severe. and i think u should take care about the food and meal that u take...some foods are easily get gas, like beans, milk, cabbage, peanut and etc...i'll get more gas after drink soya bean, so i avoid it. Actually probiotics i taking around more than 6 months, the effect is slowly coming...so i think u can have a try(may long try), and it would improve ur immune system too.

Hello. May i know where can i get LactoGG in KL or PJ area?? Pls help >.<

I suffered with IBS since I can remember, I'm now 34 years old. IBS is not a disease, and it can be fixed. The problem is that we eat a lot of processed food that our bodies can't handle. Since I went paleo (only natural foods, no processed food, no dairy, no wheat, no grains) IBS went away. I was amazed at this as the doctors told me that it was anxiety related. They also told me to eat more grains and fibre, however this had the opposite effect.

I would recommend anyone with IBS to elimate certain foods from the diet starting with wheat, dairy and grains and see if that helps.

probiotics is not a medicine. it's good bacteria.

besides yoghurt, other fermented food like kimchi, sauerkraut, tempe and even fu yu (fermented soy tofu). eating all this in ur diet is only to maintain the good bacteria culture in ur body.

changing ur diet to less processed food will help. like what Micksolo did. u can also try GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome--IBS also considered as GAPS problem) diet. read more at: http://www.gapsdiet.com/ or http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/02/the...r-doing-it.html

drinking yoghurt only will not help u coz the yoghurt available in our supermarkets do not have enough probiotics count to help severe cases like IBS ald. that's why it's more advisable to take probiotic supplements (esply the kind that needs to be refridgerated coz they're live cultures). at least for 2-3mths.

u can ask ur doctor if he sells it or any pharmacy and get a good one.

***another thing i want to highlight is that our doctors always like to prescribe antibiotics when we get mild illnesses like cough and flu.

do u notice that after taking antibiotics u still get sick easily afterwards?

this is because we didn't take good bacteria to replace the ones killed by the antibiotics. we often forget that antibiotics kill both good and bad bacteria. that's why it's VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT to tell everyone to replace their good bacteria (taking high count probiotics) during and after a course of antibiotics. i alw tell my friends this.


p/s: except cars, there're a lot of very good buatan malaysia products geh. LOL

I am diagonsed with gilbert syndrome where liver bilirubin level may rise higher than normal ppl, sometimes IBS is bugging me. Bowel uncomfort, gas, bloating.

Most importantly is no alcoholic drink, quit drinking any alcoholic drink including shandy whicn contains only 1% alcohol

i was diagnosed 2 months ago.
runny stools in the morning, particularly.

any recommended diet?

Gilbert syndrome is an inheritable disease. anyone else in ur family also has it??

I think I do have IBS, although I never went for check-up. Due to a surgery done to correct bowel movement at toddler. I've been having IBS symptom since then. But that was all history. Been suffering IBS for more than 10 years since birth!!!! Yes, I'm a little shy to tell but this is just sharing.

During my primary was worst:
1. Occasionally vomit. Else, having nausea constantly.
2. Bad constipation (4-5 days).
3. Bad appetite
4. Occasionally diarrhoea (It is very bad especially when I already constipate for 5 days)
5. Feel full all the time.
6. NEVER eat outside.
7. Psychologically affected such as moody and low confident.

My parents think its normal kids having no appetite but as I reach my puberty, I believe it even affect my hormone. However, things changed lately and got better. Not probiotic though, its spirulina does wonder!

take kefir; culture your own kefir.

doctor prescribed DUSPATALIN... which pharmacy can get this ?

what sort of probiotic is best

Kefir is best; this is live culture. It is much better than store-bought yoghurt.

I used to have watery stools and acid reflux. After consuming kefir I don't have those problems anymore. I have increased my kefir intake to 2 cups a day. And I just love culturing my own kefir; at least I'm assured of its cleanliness.

All you people with IBS should give it a try; no harm done! You just need to stock up on milk to feed the grains.

I am not trying to promote more sales here. There is only so much that I could sell; I sell only excess grains. Kefir keepers can't share their grains unless they have excess.

Cheers!

I just tried 1 week each of coffee enema, it helps colon cleansing. But don't simply do it without experts advice. Important thing is 'Organic coffee' and 'Non-chlorine water' must be used.

Good read below. See the videos also. Not sure if malaysia have dr oz shows. In sg, it's available every day. I recorded it to watch during weekends. Very informative.

Yes, kefir is your answer...i was in the same boat as you..bloated and so on and so on..after a month of taking kefir milk most of my problems are solved, and i never felt so healthy.

I got my kefir grains from Ms Tiny Pumpkin..i'm so grateful and thankful i found her..her kefir grains are so healthy and active..guys don't worry they worth every cents of your investment..

Please take your 5 minutes and google the benefits of Kefir grains. Cheers.

Thanks dear for your kind words.

That feeling of being bloated and acid reflux could affect your quality of life. I'm so glad you feel better now just like bearbearhong.

Yes! Cheers to you!
