    DH drink goat kfir, eats yogurt too, and we get naturally fermented vegetables for him as well.

    Have you tried drinking buttermilk or kombucha?

    VSL-3 is said to help with IBD. No idea if any probiotics help with acid reflux, though

    Whatever you end up getting, get the stuff that has to be rrefrigerated

    I haven't' heard of probiotics for acid reflux.

    For me, I take them when I take antibiotics to reduce my risk of yeast infections.

    Honestly skip the pills and try Kefir. I can buy it at most grocery stores, my favorite brand is Nancy's Organic, they don't add sugar to the fruit blends and it's basically drinkable yogurt. The probiotic bacteria helps more in the guts though than the stomach, I've never had it help with acid but my IBS symptoms are greatly reduced and I rarely need to use medicinces for constipation anymore. I don't even have to drink it every day anymore, every other works fine. If I go two days though I tend to see my problems resurface. I had tried three different types of supplements containing probiotic (well, they SAID they did), and none had the quick impact of Kefir. Give it three or four days of daily consumption (whatever serving you enjoy, I drink 8oz usually) and you will know if it's helping or not.
