Oh cool! I am glad you are doing well. Does insurance cover it for you? I hear mixed reviews. I see that Visibiome or VSL3 is expensive.

My insurance does cover VSL #3 DS. I fought with them for a year when they tried to stop covering it, and they eventually developed a special policy to cover VSL for pouchitis and UC (and reimbursed me retroactively!). My state insurance regulators helped with the fight. It’s easier to find Visbiome these days, but since the insurance company policy names VSL #3 specifically I think it isn’t worth the risk to try to get the policy updated.
