A member asked:
Is there a probiotic for chronic diarrhea/ibs-d? if so would phillips colon health or florastor be good brands to buy?

In general one: Pro-biotic is no better than the other although I prefer low fat ACTIVA myself! The chronic diarrhea of IBS-D however needs MORE for treatment than the pro-biotic alone!@ Consult with a Board Certified Gastroenterologist! Hope this helps! DrZ
