Q: Wondering if anyone has thoughts on the probiotic, VSL#3?
Hi Mel,
As with many other drugs / supplements VSL helps some and not others. Overall, it is a high quality probiotic. But, even so, some people find it isn't helpful to them, while others find it to be quite helpful. It is expensive and other good probiotics at lower costs are also available. It's pretty much a matter of what works best for you and you don't know until you try.
Best,
Elizabeth

Thank you Elizabeth! I was doing so well with Apriso and Canasa and then it just stopped working. The DR wants to put me on Remicade and I really do not want to take that. Thank you for the feedback!
