Do they work for GI stuff? My GI suggested I try them for my stomach issues so I bought a box of Align and the reviews are pretty postive.

It depends on what kind of GI stuff. If it's the bacteria in your digestive system that's off, yeah, they can help with that. If your not getting a good balance of nutrients (which, tbh, I don't know anyone that is), they can help.

I've taken 3 doses so far and I don't know if you can tell after just 3 doses, but I feel like a lot lighter or some **** and I don't feel as full and I didn't puke as much today and I wasn't in as much stomach pain or nausea. Also my appetite was down too.

So I didn't realize that the Align pills had the days of weeks on the back. And I haven't been taking them in order.

Is this an issue? Unaluna? Anyone? I know they say to keep it in the blister pack. Idk if I just ****ed something up inside of me.

MY doctor wants me to take them, so I do. I have some other GI issues that it doesn't help, though.

The Align protocol perhaps includes titrating dose. Another possibility is that it starts with one or two strains of bacteria and then adds more or different strains.

I'm taking a probiotic that's designed to improve mood. And I think it does.
Here's an excerpt from the "blurb"
Quote:
Clinical and pre-clinical studies indicate that gut microbes can support mood and behavior by affecting the gut-brain axis, a complex communication network that links your gut with your brain. And the two probiotics in this formula are particularly effective.

In two randomized controlled trials, participants taking a blend of Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52 and Bifidobacterium longum Rosell-175 reported significant mood, stress response and emotional balance support as compared to placebo. These strains relieved stress-related gastrointestinal discomfort as well.

I have defiently noticed an improvement today. I haven't been throwing up at all and I have had energy to do stuff and my moods and anxiety have been good too. I think it is making a difference.
