Pages: 1 Anyone try the Probotics VSL#3       #286529 - 10/15/06 09:26 AM Edit Reply Quote Unregistered I was on an antib. in August that really messed up my stomach and made my IBS-C the worst it's ever been. I finally skipped my regular doctor after leaving there with no answers and saw a Gastro doctor who was great. He explained the type of antib. I took only stays in your gut so it killed all my good and bad flora. He gave me samples of a Probotic called VSL#3. I started it last night and would love to hear from anyone with IBS-C and your experiences on it? Thanks!

It is quite pricey. It is being used in a number of clinical trials. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Anyone try the Probotics VSL#3       #286549 - 10/15/06 01:12 PM Edit Reply Quote Unregistered Thanks for the link. I'll search on here as well. So far it's only day one and I'm not that impressed, but maybe it takes times.

The probiotics need time to colonize and re-establish in your gut. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
