ACTIVA YOUGERT HELPS!!!!!!

 HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!!!!!! I have suffered for 2 years with IBS/IBD. The doctors gave me every test in the world and ruled out any disease or cause. I tried lots of different prescription pills and some of them only made my symptoms worse.
I am now on ACTIVA YOUGURT for 1 MONTH now and I Am 95% back to normal. I wish I had been eating this when my symptoms first started unstead of suffering for so long. I eat one everyday, it has gotten rid of all cramps, bloating, pain,naesea. I am now going almost the same time everyday now. and regular. I havent felt this good in years. I am sleeping through the night now. before I would wake up every several hours with pain or naesea or heartburn. I hope someone gwts some relife from this. It had taken me 2 weeks of eating one ACTIVA YOUGURT everyday to regulate my digestive system.

Activia is supposed to regulate you either way (C or D). I'm on day 2 of it *again*. It really helps when I eat one a day. But, I fell off the wagon with the holidays and forgot... badness. Once you stop about a week or so it really comes back with a vengeance for me (the D). Hope this helps.

Yogurt is great, no doubt there, but a good probiotic is typically even more effective....nothing wrong with using both.

:)

Can I ask how this particular type of yogurt is different or more beneficial than say organic yogurt?

I read somewhere that organic yogurt has higher concentrations in acidopholis so I've been eating 1 to 2 Stonyfield Farms Vanilla flavored yogurt cups a day. I do notice a marked improvement in my situation (IBS symptoms after colon resection for cancer and GB removal, mulitiple BM's a day, sometimes D, never C).

I just wondered if Activia is better than organic yogurt?

Thanks!

I have tried ACTIVIA for 2 weeks, it works. I was diagnoised with IBS in college. I use to have D every day. I took ammodium every day to the point I could not control my anal spincter muscles (leakage). I stopped the ammodium and just lived with the D! I started taking this and I already notice I am going less.

It is helpfull, try it for 2weeks/once a day, you will see a difference.
