Reply to "VSL#3"

I have had my pouch since 2010, and in the past couple of years have had recurring issues with pouchitis. I had previously tried VSL #3 DS but it seemed to make my symptoms worse, so I stopped. Fast forward to two months ago: I had a particularly bad bout of pouchitis so my doc prescribed Cipro 2x daily and Flagyl 3x daily for a month. These gave me horrible stomach cramps and tendonitis, so I tried the DS again, starting with one pouch per day. I did this for about a week, then increased to two. I now take 2-4/day depending on how I'm feeling. It does take a while for your body to adjust at first, but stick with it! I feel great now, very little gas, I almost never get bloated, and I have stopped taking Imodium and Welchol as I found I just didn't need them. Hoping this continues long term. Good luck!
