Jordy, I can't find where I saw that VSL 3 was better for IBS C. I may have got it wrong. I thought I read somewhere that it was good for gas and bloating but not for D?? On their web site they put gas and bloating reduction first, then a reduction in urgency (but not in D itself). It seems incredibly expensive and I am only going to try it after the rest. If you can't get a similar product to IBS support in the States, I would go ahead and order it. It shouldn't be affected by shipping (unless customs hold it up for ages) but I can't necessarily recommend it to you as we are all different and it may not work although I would still give it a try. I used it for 3 weeks and was great but then had a bad day out of the blue which was disappointing; however, it might have just been a symptom of the flu. I also want to be normal and 3 or 4 bm's/day is not normal enough for me. I am now on antibiotics which can cause D so I have upped my Digestive support to 2 tablets a day while I am on them. I will stay on it after all the antibiotics are over to give it a chance again. I have also ordered Align and am trying to get hold of Lifestart. I want to try them all separately and then maybe in combination. For me, I really feel bacteria have played a strong role in my IBS so anything that can affect the balance is worth trying, (but I could be wrong).
