I took Align instead of eating yogurt when I was prescribed antibiotics. I developed fever blisters after the second day of taking Align, and each day discovered new fever blisters. It took me nearly a week before I became suspicious that it was the Align. I stopped taking it a couple of days ago and haven't developed any new fever blisters. I will be returning this product back to the store I...

I have had stomach sensitivity to foods for quite some time, it would trigger at any given moment, but ever since ive been using align probiotics, it has changed my life in so many ways, im not scared to eat anymore,I faithfully take 1 align probiotic before bed ,i cannot believe the difference my body feels , im so happy i dont have to be near a bathroom all the time or not have to stay home , i can eat in a restaurant , i eat pretty healthy 85% of the time but even the healthiest foods would trigger my stomach but i want to thank the align company for changing my life i give you 100 plus stars Read More Read Less

I picked up this product for better colon health. Took it for a week and experienced rapid weight gain! And I’ve had gastric sleeve! It’s going in the trash.

I’m not trying to bash this product, obviously it works amazingly well for some people and others, like me, awful. I thought I was going to improve my gut health, I’ve always dealt with a hiatal hernia so I have heartburn, I’ve also dealt with nausea for years, on a daily basis. As of lately though, I has been a little better, until I started taking align. I was getting terrible headaches, I never get headaches, my heartburn and nausea were beyond awful, I was talking 2 of my ppi (rabezole) which was making me more nauseous, my stomach hurt so bad all the time, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, then I tried taking other meds in the morning with my align. I felt like I was honestly dying I hurt so bad yesterday, terrible cramping, I’m never cold and the last month that I’ve been trying to get this to work, zingers of cold constantly, I didn’t take it today, felt amazing! I’m glad it works for some, beyond awful for me!Read More Read Less

Align gave me the very symptoms it was supposed to alleviate. The bloating is so horrible, I look 5 months pregnant. The gas and constipation is unbearable! I also experienced some new things like heartburn, indigestion, and a burning in my stomach. After 2 weeks of misery, it’s going in the trash.

In the beginning Align seemed to be fine. Then Align caused me to have weight gain, I always felt bloated and uncomfortable. I took this medication since early 2000s, so relieved I no longer take it or feel poorly. It took me a long time to figure out why I had these issues.

I bought this product because it was advertised that it will help with bloating and gas and improve my gut health. At first I thought my stomach is so far off that it's getting rid of stuff out of my body is why I was feeling the way I was but after researching that they were actually the side effects, I have thrown this bottle in the trash, very disappointed. I had been taking it for 4 days. So far, I have been constipated which I have been regular with my BM for years. I am also experiencing MAJOR Bloating to where it looks like I am 5 months pregnant and have been uneasy in the stomach and have been cramping in my stomach to where it feels like I am backed up. I have been feeling miserable. 4 days is enough! Read More Read Less

I don't know why a gastroenterologist would suggest this for IBS, or for anyone who has lactose intolerance because it had lactose in it. Most people with IBS have a lactose sensitivity from what I hear. I WISH DOCTOR'S WOULD SUGGEST MEDICATION OR PRODUCTS THAT ACTUALLY IMPROVE TYE QUALITY AND HEALTH OF HUMANS.

Taken for IBS-D. Worked like a charm for three months, made me mild-to-moderately constipated, but was 10x better than having fatiguing D 5-10x/day. Took a break from it to see if I was cured or things would return, which they did, but when I restarted taking Align a month later, nothing happened. What worked perfectly for three months was now ineffective. No idea if my biome became resistant or if I just shouldn't have stopped.

Everyone’s digestive system is different. Been taking this for 2 weeks and it has helped me tremendously. Glad and bloating is almost nonexistent and have regular bowel moments for the first time in years. Just wish it was less expensive.

I’ve had 10 years of bowel problems that ruled my life, I decided to try Align and the morning after my first dose, I had a normal, solid bowel movement! After two months I’m still doing very well at least 80 percent of the time.

Everything I tried didn’t stop my stomach-aching it had me so scared I thought I had pancreatic cancer. When my doctor prescribed Align I thought he was being negligent, but it has worked so good. It’s what prompted me to tell everyone dealing with this issue. Try Align I’m so unbelievably happy with my results. Five gigantic stars. ??????????

I finally found something to help with my gut issue! I have always had issues with my digestive tract when traveling. Knowing that we were going on Safari, I knew I needed to start ‘way’ ahead of time to get my intestines ready for unusual food, time change and ‘regularity’. I started Align Probiotic about 6 months before our Safari trip to Africa.. I took 1 capsule at night, every night. We did go on a vacation 2 months after I started and with the unusual-unlimited food choices, I did pretty well. I made sure I ate gut healthy foods, but still had some elaborate meals. On to our Africa excursion. 2 wonderful weeks in Africa, with their local cuisine and I was the most ‘regular’ than I have ever been! I am impressed! After 50+ years of digestive issues, Align has proven to be a life-saver for me, my gut and my intestines! Maybe a little TMI, but if you are inquiring/reading about Align…you too must have issues with your gut. I bought the large box at Costco, because it was convenient, but I would be willing to get it at the local pharmacy or Amazon if needed. It is expensive, but it truly worked for me. Would love a discounted coupon, but again..so worth the money knowing I won’t have intestinal ‘issues’ “one way or the other”, if you get my drift! Read More Read Less

Safe to say I have stopped taking it I even went down to one gummy a day and still didn’t help getting back on my activateforyou more expensive but better overall for my health.

After about four or five months on Aign, I began experiencing extreme abdominal cramping. I am getting off this probiotic immediately!

I started taking Align on 3/24/21 following a 2-week bout with a stomach virus. I noticed results in the watt I felt in less than 2 weeks (no gas, bloating, heartburn, indigestion, etc.). I had peptic ulcers in my early 20s and regular acid reflux from my 30s until now. I have used prescription meds, OTC meds (Pepcid AC, Tagamet, Pepto-Bismol, just to name a few). I have been taking Align for 8 months (tomorrow). I have lost 12 pounds and I feel great! I am no longer tired or fatigued. My energy level has increased dramatically and my mood has greatly improved. I am a 64-year old female who gained over 20 pounds during my 15 years of menopause. During that time I could not lose more than 1-2 pounds no matter how hard I tried. I am currently at my High School weight (1976). My belly fat is gone. I went from a size 6 pants a size 2. I highly recommend Align to anyone with stomach issues. Read More Read Less
