8. I've been trying and using

different probiotics for, idk, 15 years or so. I have IBS or some kind of bacterial insufficiency in the bowel. Would really like to try the fecal transplant, but... Anyway, of all the probiotics I've tried, including one RX, I'm not impressed. Apparently, some types help some people but remember that the placebo effect can be around 30 %?? The only one that I'm still using is an Acidophilus complex by Solgar. ( "Advanced Acidophilus&quot . I think they help but my symptoms are so random that it's hard to tell for sure. I'm so desperate that I'm afraid to eat a meal without one. ALSO, I use digestive enzymes which, I think, have a little more evidence on their side, but don't quote on that. And there are all kinds of these things on the market. I use one called " Ultra-Zyme" by Nature's Plus. Nature's Plus also has one called "Ultra Actizyme", that I can't use because of the FOS. Otherwise I think it is superior.
I got "floxxed" last year (Cypro), and I'm still f'd up.
