Suffering from diarrhea ibs no medicines seems to work so i have started taking yakult drink which is a probiotic drink, is that a good idea?

IBS: Is caused often by increased activity of the complex nervous system around the bowel. The commonest cause, by far, is poor diet, especially sugar. A good probiotic is helpful.
