I bought a pack of 30 from Walmart a few days ago. I've had problems with IBS for most of my life and diverticulitis. I've had Methotrexate chemotherapy shots recently for 7 weeks in a row (for rheumatoid arthritis) and it really flared up my stomach - with bloating, gas, acid reflux, diarreah, and constant pain and swelling on the right side (yeah, I've been having a great time of it!!!! LOL). I've tried eating low-fiber, low residue foods, DanActive yogurt drinks, Aloe juice, Zantac 150, etc etc.<br /><br />Finally, my stomach is settling down and the pain has subsided. I am eating more normally now without suffering.<br />I highly recommend this particular product - The Enzymatic Pearls Elite. NOTE: All their probiotics are not the same formula.<br /><br />Here's the ingredients:<br /><br />Serving Size: 1 capsule<br /> Amount per capsule<br />Proprietary Probiotic Blend<br />Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum 5 billion CFU **<br />**Daily Value not established.<br /><br />The one Walmart sells on the package says:<br /><br />Enzymatic<br />PROBIOTIC<br />PEARLS<br />HIGH POTENCY<br />Digestive Health.<br />The same exact formula as the Enzymatic Pearls Elite. Same thing.<br />Good luck and happy tummy to you - it really works.

I have had stomach/digestive problems for years. I have had my gall bladder removed. I have had a Nissen Fundoplication (surgery to repair a hiatal hernia). Over the past 8 years+ (about 15 years since my surgery), I have had continual problems with my digestive tract. I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago; nothing found. I have been on motility medication. I have gone through MANY A BOTTLES of Mylanta or the equivalent; that offered temporary relief, but I had to keep a bottle with me at all times. I started taking Pearls (original) several months ago and felt slightly better, but not enough to say I felt good. I ran out of the Pearls (original) in June, but had not replenished them. So, I went without for a couple of months. That was one of the worstvcouple of months!!! Anyway, I decided to try the Pearls Elite. I felt so much better.<br /><br />My system is moving on its own. I - for the most part - am able to sleep at night again. Exception: I sometimes eat foods (i.e. processed foods, anything already cooked and packaged, and birthday cake icing - that trigger the familiar digestive discomfort (possibly due to gluten intolerance), I occasionally have need of a bottle of a Mylanta equivalent. Overall, however, I feel so much better. I like the fact that these pills are small, tasteless, and don't require refrigeration. I am about to order more now. I HIGHLY recommend Pearls Elite.<br /><br />UPDATE 5/5/12: Since my original post, I have confirmed that the underlying issues to my digestive tract issues was GLUTEN INTOLERANCE and INSUFFICIENT DIGESTIVE ENZYMES - and LACTOSE INTOLERANCE (which I already knew about). I have experienced crazy constipation for many years. It just seems that my digestive tract was paralyzed. Consequently, I was miserable. I didn't feel well; I had no energy; I couldn't think clearly enough to accomplish much of anything. Now that I have eliminated gluten, continue with the Pearls Elite, and take digestive enzymes with every meal, I feel a major difference. I really mean that. Now, if I slip on any of these things, I suffer. It seems that I need all of them. (Even though I take digestive enzymes and probiotics, I still use Lactaid whenever I am going to ingest a dairy product.)<br /><br />UPDATE 02/12/14: Had to change to a refrigerated probiotic.No longer felt the relief from the Pearls. It could be that I am no longer able to get the Pearl's Elite, so I had to go to the original.

I didn't know much about probiotics until my doctor suggested that I take these along with a prescription antibiotic to lessen stomach upset. Not only did my stomach survive the course of medication without a hitch, but my occasional bouts of IBS have come to a screeching halt. I take one every other day to prevent constipation. I also feel they are strengthening my immune system. Everyone I've recommended these to is very happy with the results.

For over five years I had chronic loose bowels and diarrhea. Colonoscopy said all was fine. GI doc recommended Align and Metamucil which were no help. Two days on Pearls Elite and my body is working fine; I can't believe it! I've been taking these for about four months now. I went off two different times for a week and diarrhea returned. I'm sticking with the Pearls. And what totally shocked me was that my menopausal hot flashes which were happening numerous times per day are mostly gone when I take Pearls. Don't know why these get rid of hot flashes but I'm a happy camper!

I am so glad that Amazon introduced me to Elite Pearls by Enzamatic Therapy. I had tried their other probiotics but they did not compare to Elite Pearls. All systems worked well and I felt great.<br /><br />I have also tried probiotics by other companies but none compare to Elite Pearls, at least for me.

Let me say first, that I am NOT a health nut. I am what my doctor would consider obese with less than stellar eating habits. Given the previous, I decided to try to improve my health habits by adding a few supplements.<br /><br />I am in my late 20s, and have no digestive conditions. However, in the last year or so I have had significant discomfort from gas, constipation, and loose stools. Including rather severe reactions to eating vegetables. After taking these with a prebiotic fiber supplement, I feel SO much better.<br /><br />I will say to keep taking them for at least a week. I did not start to notice a difference until about the 5th day, but all of my complaints have all but vanished. Would really recommend to people who normally don't &#34;do&#34; supplements.
