I recently spoke with a lady who has a good amount of success with Probiotics in treating her IBS. I had a questions as who of you out there have had equal good experience using Probiotics to treat your Crohn's condition.

I have read that some strains are considered good and safe for IBD and others might be troublesome. I think this is why probiotics can sometimes have mixed reviews from users. It might simply depend on which brand or strains were ingested? I would research. I have read that acidophilus is safe so my son is beginning a supplement with acidophilus only. Let us know your experience if you decide to try them.

Some people have had great success with them but others not so much. I am a big believer in their potential but so far after multiple tries I get bloated, sharp pains and run with more diarrhea.
I would certainly give it a try with a big company that tests their strains and ensures their potency.
