IBS, unmanageable fatigue and Actimel

I've been feeling terrible for a few weeks: very, very tired to the point that I've had to get my husband to pick me up from work, and bad tummy/IBS (cramps/diarrhea/gas/bloating). It suddenly clicked that it coincided with me starting to take Actimel probiotics. Could the two be linked? Has anybody had the same thing happen?

Thank you!

Nope,unless your intolerant to cows milk.Actimel and the like have been shown to have virtually no effect on Ibs.Live natural yoghurt ( preferable home made) or Kefir ( fermented milk with lots of live bacteria) have been shown to work.Actimel is just a sweetened yoghurt drink ( sugar kills bacteria).
