Reply to "fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids help pouchitis?"

Kanga-

As you've discovered, VSL is available without a prescription, in capsules or single-strength packets. The double-strength formulation requires a prescription (and thus is sometimes covered by insurance). The dose seems to really matter, so I'd be surprised if you saw any effect from (for example) 4 capsules daily. The dose I take (larger than most people's) is equivalent to 32 capsules daily.

If I were having the trouble you're describing I'd be eager for a pouchoscopy. You'll get much better results when you treat a problem you actually have.
