Thanks for surfacing the recent news reaffirming Visbiome’s newest legal success against VSL #3. Either of these bacterial probiotics would be intended to help reduce/prevent/control pouchitis. That’s how I use VSL #3, and I find it a useful supplement to antibiotics (which I’m also on). C diff is chiefly associated with Cipro, so I suspect Florastor’s value is much, much lower if you’re not on Cipro. FWIW, I’ve been on Cipro for over ten years and I’ve never had a hint of C diff, and I generally haven’t bothered with Florastor.

Thanks, Scott. A bit perturbed I’ve been taking Florastor without this understanding.....and really not more than a supposition by the doctor’s office that it likely provides some benefit. I’m fighting a battle here, not looking to waive a feather at it and cross my fingers! Truth is, they just don’t know. And I get that. I just wish we weren’t the ones who are one step ahead because we read and research.
