Fucking lowlives. Sorry your mom got scammed. These are just general supplements that won't really do anything compared to a healthy diet. I wouldn't recommend buying them all. Maybe a multivitamin and fish oil, or a b-vitamin if she doesn't eat meat. Otherwise, they're likely a waste of money.
Here are some supplements I've taken that look like basically the same thing, though I don't see Amway's nutritional facts (with the list of ingredients) so I just have to go by the marketing nonsense on their site to guess at what all is in each.
Also, /r/supplements is great for questions like this.
I have had tremendous success and relief since I started taking probiotics.
I take this one: http://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Primal-Defense-Capsules/dp/B000GWG8FS
It has many cultures in it, which I have read is beneficial. Some brands tout that their product has millions of cells, but a variety of cultures has proven to be effective, in my experience.
Best of luck!
Garden of Life ftw. I'm not a doctor, but I have family members that are. Can't give you medical advice, but there can be a plethora of things that are giving you the issues you mentioned, most common things based off what you said is heart burn or GERD (google it). I'd recommend you see a GI doctor, they'll probably recommend doing a scope or something, or may just start you on PPI's like omeprozole, zantec or something. Keep in mind the things you eat and see if they make things worse. Like if you eat a tomato, drink coffee or OJ, or anything citrus or spicy, does that make you burp and give you heartburn? If so, you probably have acid reflux which is pretty common.
Uncommon things- H. Pylori, ulceration, etc etc
All that on the side, I religously preach about probiotics to everyone I know having gut issues. It's not a miracle cure, but definitely helps if you have an imbalanced diet. Since I started probiotics, I seldom take any kind of acid reflux medication unless I know I'm going to be eating food or drinking that might fuck with my gut, but even when I don't take it and eat/drink things that might affect me, I don't have symptoms as often.
I was taking these, but unfortunately I think the price has gone up quite a bit since I purchased them. Any probiotic you find should be fine though, you can also just eat yogurt.
Some people rave about the pork clouds.

Some other ideas:
For probiotics, Dr. Patrick swears by VSL #3 but it is quite expensive and seems like it might actually be too strong for some people. Labdoor has ranked some popular options. I don't put too much trust in their scoring system but you can create a free account and read through the reports of ones you might be interested in. I have an n=1 experience with a family member taking Garden of Life Primal Defense and doing quite well with that.
For prebiotics, the standard recommendation is to get enough fiber and to include some fermented foods in your diet such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, or kombucha.
Sure, I am sure there's better. I started taking this company's probiotics and it literally cured my diverticulitis...so I bought their vitamin
garden of life - vitamin code
probiotic
I forgot to mention this, my sister has mthfr gene mutation and thinks I might as well. So she takes this and I just bought it also
Thorne methylfolate (sp?)
Also thanks a ton for helping!
Right now i'm taking align because my doctor recommended it - I have been on it for about 3-4 weeks now and I haven't really seen much improvements. I was taking some other probiotic before that for a month but didn't see too much improvement either.
I just purchased https://smile.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Whole-Probiotic-Supplement/dp/B000GWG8FS?_encoding=UTF8&keywords=probiotic&qid=1486688706&ref_=sr_ph_1_s_it&sr=sr-1&th=1 one because it was cheaper and not sure if it would help or not. I used also eat LOTS of greek yogurt (which I haven't been eating recently) as well.
I don't eat beans too much these days but do eat a lot of broccoli/cauliflower/etc and what not. I'm trying to cut them out of my diet for obvious reasons.
I don't mind at all! It won't be overnight that you will see results, and your stomach may be angry for a couple days initially, so give it a week before judging! Please let me know how it goes!
