Vitamin Bounty Pro-Daily Probiotic 5 Billion CFU - 13 Strains with Lactobacillus Acidophilus & Bifidobacterium for Digestive Health - Probiotics for Men & Women Gut Health Support

I bought these probiotics/prebiotics after a doctor recommended them for my husband. No brand was specified, but I did my research and chose this brand. So happy that I did! My husband never had any issues with his bowels until he received radiation therapy for prostate cancer. during, and up to a year after radiation therapy, he developed IBS. He practically lived off of Imodium, with mixed results. His condition got so bad that he literally lost control of his bowels several times and soiled himself. We were fearful to even go out and eat; for fear of his having accidents! Eventually, he ended up seeing a GI specialist and was told that the radiation did indeed kill off all the good bacteria in his digestive tract --and he needed to replace it with probiotics and to add an Imodium daily. So this started my search!! I was impressed that this brand was designed so that the probiotic strains survive the stomachs acid and allows it to enter the small intestine where it is needed! It's been three months now, and he has improved tremendously! No more accidents! He rarely has to take an Imodium pill, also! I also started taking these because I drink diet sodas; and let's face it, those things surely must upset the flora in the digestive tract. None the less, I love them just as others do coffee. I highly recommend this brand to anyone that wants to get their digestive tract back on track! (lol! No pun intended!) We love them so much that we now have these on auto ship!

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a doctor nor claim to be. This is just my personal testimony. I recently just finished a round of antibiotics for bacteria in my stomach called H.Pylori. Before taking the antibiotics, I did some extensive research on the type of triple therapy I'd be ingesting and found out that people taking them can end up getting C.diff. My gastro never mentioned this to me at all. They only mentioned how I might get some diarrhea. C. Diff, which can be deadly, is different from getting "some bouts" of diarrhea. This is why people need to do their own research into their ailments than blindingly trusting a doctor who doesn't know you, but I digress. After reading many case studies about C. Diff and H.Pylori and asking my pharmacist about their thoughts on the matter, pairing a probiotic with an antibiotic can only help you and not hurt you. I even read that "Probiotic strains, such as S. boulardii, L. reuteri and L. GG, decrease gastrointestinal antibiotic-associated adverse effects, especially diarrhea. A reasonable amount of evidence exists that supplementation with S. boulardii is a useful concomitant therapy in the standard H. pylori eradication treatment protocol and most probably increases the eradication rate." In another study with 100 people with H.Pylori, "Lactobacillus acidophilus on standard triple therapy increased the eradication success rate." I would encourage you all to look into this and do your own research. I personally believe that pairing probiotics with antibiotics can only help. I decided on this probiotic because of the number/type of strains it had in it (the more diversity the better) and this was one of the few probiotics I was looking at where I was happy with the price and diversity of strains. A day before the bottle arrived at my house, I experienced the classic diarrhea symptom that accompanies C.diff (9th day of antibiotic treatment), I immediately started taking these probiotics and started have normal solid bowel movements. and still do even after my treatment. Moral of the story, do your own research.

This review is going to be TMI but I feel like that’s what these things need. I have been having every type of stomach issue after eating. Nausea, stomach pain, bloating but worst of all diarrhea. I was afraid to eat and not be close to a bathroom after eating because if I need to go I don’t much time. I did some research and I found this probiotic had the most strains I could find that would help with diarrhea. I’ve been taking it for a couple weeks and thankfully only a couple bathroom emergencies as apposed to almost every day. I think your body needs time to work with the probiotic and build it up. I was afraid to even eat anymore because I knew I wasn’t going to feel good whatever my symptom might be. I feel like I’m starting to get my life back!

This is a great probiotic. I have tried many. I started it, and wanted to give it a few weeks before reviewing. I have a slow system, which doesn't always do its daily job. This helps so much with that problem. I suggest taking it in the morning. Drink a lot of water! You'll see results the next day. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is it is only a 30 day supply... I found another one with awesome reviews, same price, and has a 60 supply. Going to try it out. So, this product works! Just wish it was a two month supply.

I was on this probiotic for about a month when I realized my tummy issues were much better. I do notice a difference if I stop using this for a few days. I guess it's all about finding that probiotic that works best for you. I'm lactose intolerant, so that might be a factor. I've tried many probiotics -- including every single one that has TV commercials -- but they all seemed to make my problems worse. Now, this hasn't cured all my problems daily... but it has helped a LOT. For example, it's not going to help me much if I go off my usual diet and have a big bowl of ice cream... which I've done.. more times than I'd care to admit. I know there is lactose-free ice cream, but they don't come in the flavors I want (lactose-free sea salt caramel ice cream would fulfill a wish of mine).

I was having a digestive issue so that I always had feeling of bloated stomach. I always needed to go bathrooms during the meal or after meal. It was not good experiences especially when I was with group of people in dining. With these issues, I was suggested taking probiotic. After research on my own, I found this probiotic is the best fit to take care of my issues. I purchased the product, and have taken so far, I’ve felt much light in the stomach. I also can see my stomach is a flat now. Overall, I feel much better going bathroom without diarrhea. I am looking forward to seeing more benefit from this probiotic! So far I like very much!

For the everyday person this works fine

After being on various antibiotics for years, my gut health has gone quite downhill. I was experiencing digestive issues and especially an increase in skin issues. I was looking around for a probiotic to try taking and came across Vitamin Bounty's Pro-Daily. After doing some research and reading through reviews, I thought I would give it a try. Now that I have been taking this probiotic for about a month, I can tell that my digestive system and overall health is in a much better place. I no longer have the issues that I did prior, and I look forward to continuing purchasing this product! Would definitely recommend!
