Has anyone tried this probotic? I keep reading about how good it is for you if you have a lot of yeast in your body etc.... I am trying to find a good probotic since I am going to start reducing my cipro.

Any advise would be helpful. Also, I have tried VSL and really didn't notice anything.

Thanks so much,

I take it for c.diff prevention as I had recurrences of it off and on over 8 months. It has not recurred since I started taking it. I don't know it it's because I've been taking it or not. It's not the overall probiotic we would think of as using for pouchitis prevention.

I take VSL#3DS for pouchitis prevention and also eat Greek yogurt. There are many other types of probiotics that others on here use. VSL#3DS is just the only one that has been studied in connection with pouchitis. There is a paper written on-line about it by Dr. Shen and some other doctors. It's the only one that is sold as a prescription and can be costly if your insurance doesn't cover it.
