I don't know if you saw this when you checked their Website, but they have kind of an odd caution about dairy also. ( web page)
The price does go down some if you buy in bulk ($23.80 per box for 12 boxes or more; each box contains 10 packets) and there is some indication that you might be able to get away with 1/2 packet per day ( web page). So you could get your cost down to $11.90 for a 10-day supply, if you buy a lot and use a half-packet. If you buy a lot and use a whole packet, it's $23.80 for a ten-day supply.
My GI guy recommended Flora-Q (which I'm laying off to try) and I found that for $25.00 for 30 capsules, or $8.33 for a 10-day supply.
I found Primal Defense caplets for $54.57 for 180 caplets (normal dosage is 3 caplets per day, although "Advanced Use" is 6-12 per day). Assuming normal dosage, that's $9.09 for a 10-day supply.
So if you buy VSL#3 in bulk and use a half-packet, it's in the ballpark with a couple of other probiotics ($11.90 versus 8.33 and 9.09). If you don't buy in bulk and/or use a whole packet, it's about twice as much. And there's also a suggestion that some people use 2 packets. Now we're talking some serious money!
