Using Probiotics

LjzMember

Hoping to get a little advice here regarding use of Probiotics. I currently use VSL#3 every other day, just to prevent Pouchitis. Neither my surgeon or Gastro think it does much good, but I'm doing anything I can. I have cuffitis and Anusitis, and am taking 40 mg. Prednisone and using cortifoam with only minimal improvement. Going on cruise Saturday and am trying to take any possible meds/ products I might need. I had C diff before my j pouch surgeries, and am still fearful of getting it. Thinking of adding either Florastor or Culterelle to my daily regimen, just for added insurance. Planned this trip when I was feeling well. Does anyone use more than one probiotic at a time for different issues? Any benefit? Thanks!
Seeing doctors after I get back to discuss options since can't kick this.

Laurie-
I use both VSL and Florastor. The VSL seems to definitely help with pouchitis. I have no idea if the Florastor is helping keep C diff away, but I haven't gotten C diff in spite of long-term Cipro...
