VSL or Visbiome for Dr. Appt Tomorrow?

**UPDATE - VSL3 not the good stuff? Lawsuit settled and now original product being sold as Visbiome?

 

I've combed through the search on VSL first, so I'm not repeating questions already asked. But there's nothing newer than 2016. So I'm asking you, before I see the doctor tomorrow:

1.Do I want the capsules or powder? It seems like the capsules are a much lower dose, but are they effective? Also the costs are significantly different.

2.Price seems less on Amazon, but is that not a good choice?

3.There's also the issue of the DS version, which needs an RX, but is substantially more expensive. No insurance coverage for this.

4. Side effects and how long they last, of the different versions.

Any advice on all of these questions so I can go in tomorrow with a clear request. If you have any current experience with this and you have a moment to spare, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

The issues to be treated are: on an off, daily, liquid BMs with - butt burn if it lasts all day. Sometimes can go weeks. Then formed stools. No food or other reason things would change. Also cramping episodes, so much that I have been at the point of thinking I might have twists in the pouch and may need surgery. Now, seemingly resolved for the moment - with no reason or action on my part. Plus, the probiotic strains in VSL are some of the best for helping with anxiety and depression. My biggest life issue. New research on this helped me think I could fix two birds with one so-called stone.
