I am going to get really direct here. If you don't want to hear about bowel habits, you probably don't want to read this review.I started taking these, because I have trouble sometimes with being very regular with my stools. Since childhood, I have tended to get constipated every week or two, feeling bloated and heavy, and having very hard stools when I could go again. I have actually had anal fissures in the past, because of how hard some stools were.I started taking another probiotic in the morning several weeks before I started taking this one in the evening: which has prebiotics and probiotics. At first, adding these seemed to help even more with softening stools, minimizing gas pain and bloating, and regulating me to go every day or two. I no longer have any signs of fissures. Now that I have been taking them for about 2 months, I seem to have settled back into my historical habit of only going every 3 days or so. However, it is easier to go, even though the stools are bulkier. I may go back to only taking the morning probiotics (the other type I have reviewed here), just so I am only buying 1 kind of probiotic: a) the other brand is cheaper, b) the other brand seems to help enough on its own, and c) these capsules are freaking HUGE, and sometimes difficult to swallow if they turn 'sideways' at all as I'm swallowing them. I do have a small mouth (jaw and throat). You definitely should take these with at least ten ounces of water, and I personally try to drink at least 16-20 ounces when trying to take them, to be sure they are washed down thoroughly. I drink a LOT of water every day. Adding to the bulk of my stools has not been a problem because they are enough softer (with all that water) that they rarely cause any pain at all anymore. All in all, these work to aid digestion and minimize constipation, but they are very large for me to swallow. They are in an easily recyclable glass bottle, so that is an additional advantage to these, but not enough to make up for their size and cost. If I took two of these per day, as suggested on the bottle, note that a whole bottle would last only two weeks.

Got rid of basal issues

Started taking these after a hospital stay. They’re what is used at the hospital, so that convinced me to continue after I went home.

Pretty expensive for only 15 days or less of pills.

Great product
