I think the problem is that your taking everything at once. I take 2 pills a day that are 1.5 billion *with food* as specified in the directions. I would take your pills with food and eat the yogurt at a different time than the pills

I take VSL #3 and it has 450 billion organisms, so it not probably the amount rather other ingredients in the supplement. Good luck

Andrew,
Are you taking this along with large amount of Heathers SFS? I am still struggling with increasing Acacia. Its like I cant get past 1 tsp. I tried increasing 1/4 tsp this last weekend since I have had friday and monday off. But I have had such gas and rumbling and pains I went back to 1tsp and dropped the 1/4 tsp. Within in a day I was fine??? For the most part my C has been a lot better and the gas have calmed down. So I am curious why I cant seem to digest more?? This has been 3 weeks on 1 tsp.
So have you been feeling better still since you have been taking 3 TBS through out the day still??
thanks..Deb

Hello Deb...I am currently taking 24 g of Acacia a day along with peppermint caps and VSL #3. I think VSL #3 is my answer. Since I started taking it I feel totally normal and am even going to experiment with eating normal. I consider myself stable now and while Heather's diet is great I don't think IBS'ers should ever stop until they find a cure for themselves. Good luck. I hope I have found my cure.

Hey this is great news  Keep me or us posted. How long have you been taking VSL#3? Where are you getting it at in Philly?
P.S. I met another girl Wendy on this site whom lives in Bucks county. She is Married too and is around our age. So if you still up for philly support group let us know. Good luck and sounds like your starting of the new year a lot better

This is wonderful!!!!!!!!!! Are you taking one packet a day of the VSL or 1/2? I wonder if it would work for me without taking Acacia. It seems like that also plays a big role for you, Andrew.

Hi, I've never posted before so I hope I'm doing this right. I was wondering what VSL is? and how does it help IBS? Thanks.
