Align Daily Probiotic Supplement Capsules, 28-Count Box

I purchased Align specifically for my mother after she became terribly sick with C.diff. Someone I knew was taking it after having C.diff. After my mother had gotten C.diff as well, I bought a box of Align for her. Well, within days she was feeling so much better. Within a week she was feeling wonderful, singing Align's praises, and thanking me and my friend for saving her life because she felt certain the C.diff would have killed her at her age. A doctor advised another friend to take it along with the antibiotics she was taking for this gastointestinal bacteria. None have gotten a reoccurrence of C.diff while on this probiotic.

I have been using this product for the last year. I noticed an amazing difference after the first two weeks of use.
Every afternoon, whether I had eaten lunch or not, my stomach would be bloated and painful. I could barely function. It was awful. But once I found Align - my whole quality of life changed for the better. I no longer have any afternoon symptoms. I am completely committed to re-ordering every month.
Another additional plus is my body now handles international travel transitions much easier.
This is a terrific product!

I have IBS since 1992, usually triggered when drinking milk, wheat, yeast, lack of exercise, or work stress. Stomach always bloating when IBS strikes.

I learned 'Align' and the Bifido Infantis 35624 strain probiotic at a public seminar in 2007. I was questioning the speaker pannel doctor (a specialist) about a certain 'miracle' (I thought) after a 10-day 2006 winter trip from Paris where I ate 1-2 cups of Yogurt freshly delivered to hotel at 5 am daily. On the way back home in the SQ flight, my IBS usual bloatedness suddenly disappeared and I was free of IBS for the next few months. The pannel doctor caught up with me after the seminar at the hallway, told me it was due to the French yogurt might be using a different good probiotic and they were freshly alive because of cold winter. Whereas back in tropical Singapore, most Yogurt sold on the supermarkets could have been half-dead (the ideal temp is around 4 degree C) during transportation.
I was introduced by him to Align but couldn't find it in Singapore, nor in most cities in Europe or USA. Strange! Thanks to Amazon.com, I finally shipped them to Singapore via Singapore Post's USA address (VPOSTUSA: https://www.vpost.com.sg/) - again, the Aligh distributor doesn't ship outside of USA.
The first week Align slightly improved my IBS. It did have some initial side effect when the bloatedness worsen after a diarrhoea (due to an unrelated sea-food food poisoning virus GE). I was told that was normal when the good probiotic works. My GP encouraged me to continue and the 2nd week onwards my life has been 90% free from IBS (meaning you are not aware of IBS). I will continue for another 6 months with Align.

Can somebody explain why P&G is not promoting 'Align' aggressively and globally? any USA FDA or local health authority's ruling that forbid selling Align in other countries ?

This product was recommended by my doctor. I was not sure that it would work for me, I have tried cheap versions of this type of product without sucess. I have suffered with IBS nearly all of my life and in the past few years I have become lactose intolerant and the IBS has caused me to fear travel and many foods.

Align started working immediately. I will never be without it again. I can eat anything that I want without problems. Best of all, I no longer have the urgency that plagued be before.

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.
