My daughter has UC and I have a variety of GI conditions. We've both found VSL#3 to be helpful in normalizing intestinal flora. We take 3-4 caplets per dose at the start of symptoms and often I do a clean-out just before starting a round of VSL#3. VSL#3 sachets are the highest potency I know of and this caplet form is the next best. You really do need billions/trillions of good microorganisms dosed each time for them to take hold and be effective. The research shows that dosing 450-900 billion microorganisms per dose is required. There are four formulations each at a different potency.

Some people have achieved complete remission by going strict Paleo. One such young lady I just read about not only eats Paleo but uses VSL #3. Just FYI.

Barb...I really don't remember. It has been a while since I took them. I don't think they did anything positive or negative for me so I never got any more of them. Sorry I was unable to answer your question. As with Dianne (see below) I also take Primal Defense (oh..that answers the question) probiotics. I have found that Enzymatica's Digest Gold works very well for me, has an excellent reputation and is a lot less expensive. I am in my 70s and this digestive stuff is important. I wish you well, Andie

Sorry, I don't use that product anymore. I switched to Now Brand Probiotic-10 for a while, which I felt worked better for me, but I have left that too, and now use Bactipro which is a Powerful Probiotic, Phytonutrient, Antioxidant, Prebiotic, and Fiber Formula. I was struggling with a problem with diarrhea until I started using Bactipro, but since I started using this product, diarrhea is no longer an issue.

I have been suffering with leg cramps at night. I do not like drugs and always look for the natural way of treating problems. I was told by my doctor to look for a product with Cinchona a natural form of Quinine that has been used for leg cramps for years. This has it in it along with lots of other natural ingredients more then I can list. I suggest you go on Google and put in the name of of the product and I found the list of ingredients there. I also use "Caleb Treeze Organic Farm, Stops Leg ans Foot Cramps". Amazon sells it. Look at the reviews. It's all natural apple cider vinegar ,ginger and garlic. I keep it by my bedside. When I get the cramps I fill the cap with the product and put it in 2 oz of water and drink it down and it seems to work. I have tried everything and this seems to work the best. Check it out.

I don't know it it would help. I think its very likely it would help since it helps flush out bacteria, it doesn't hurt to try since its also harmful. Have you seen a naturopath? you might have candidiasis, I had systemic candidiasis and it was giving me all sort of problems and once candida is fixed everything else went away, even irritable bowel syndrome. I advise you to find a reputable naturopath and mention candidiasis I am almost sure that's what you have and be prepared if you really want to get better, you'll have to do candida diet that means no starchy foods and coffee, flours etc but you will be healed from the root. Good luck :) I don't know it it would help. I think its very likely it would help since it helps flush out bacteria, it doesn't hurt to try since its also harmful.

Stress, dietary indiscretions, really anything that causes inflammation kills good gut bacteria. it also has a life cycle in your gut and as it proliferates it also sloughs the old. So you need a high number of bacteria. Heavy duty probiotics such as 'vsl' brand have an insanely high number of bacteria. twice the amount than in colon care. That one is for use by people with ulcerative colitis and severe IBD. So yes these numbers are very meaningful. but also the types of bacteria chosen for colon care are synergistic or symbiotic. Many people have a good base of good bacteria residing and some people can't seem to develop a good thriving base of gut flora and have to replenish constantly. I am that person. I wasnt nursed as a child and was delivered cesarian. So my gut flors was nil. I appreciated the kind of bacteria present in this product and the high number of them.

Label says dried whey, gelatin, cellulose, lactobacilius, acidophilus, streptococcus thermophilus, fructooligosaccharide, citrus pectin, magnesium stearate. Made in USA. Clear capsules with powder so that you can twist them open and sprinkle on food. My dog went through sick stomach once or twice a month throughout her life until I started using this, one a day. The problem went away. I thought it might be coincidence and when I ran out, the sick stomach, grass eating, and vomiting started coming back. Ordered more of these capsules and she's been on them ever since and never has a stomach problem any more. Amazing. Don't know if it would work that well for every dog, but it worked for her.

They have a website. Send them an email and ask. I did this for their magnesium supplement. I have crohn's disease and it becomes painful when I stop using Prescript-Assist.

I am not Doctor or Health Practitioner, I just do my own research on the internet and here is what I found, The most important dietary shift is adding in grass-fed gelatin and bone broth. These superfoods mend intestinal lining and close the loose intestinal junctions that let food particles pass into the blood stream. This bloodstream invasion is what causes the immune overreaction and food allergies associated with leaky gut.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for this. I use the multi-vitamin, which as far as I know isn't designed to help a specific condition. I like them because I have a finicky eater who always eats them.

Hi. We also follow a FODMAP diet. Unfortunately, the Massel 7 Bouillon Cubes that we received through Amazon were from the batch that included onions and garlic. I don't know how to get the ones that are onions/garlic free. Deborah

I really can't tell if it's doing anything. I usually do a quick detox. I take 1 tbsp every 2 hours for one day with lots of water. And then I hope it's eliminating the toxins :). I haven't been sick at all or had any health problems. But of course, that could also be attributed to my diet, exercise and the fact that I take my probiotic.

I can't say if this will clear a yeast infection in a dog, I'd suggest you take your pet to the vets and let him exam and treat. As for the probiotic, I found my pets are better digesting their food and no problems as far as stomach issues.

None of the ingredients in this product are generally thought to contain gluten but the stuff called Ac-Di-Sol is Microcrystaline Cellulose which seems to disagree with some people with celiac disease, thus they may both up-regulate the protein Zonulin which causes the "Leaky Gut" effect where macromolecules get through the tight junctions which regulate absorption. Nevertheless, the product is very effective for repairing the brain. It might be something you can take in the form of a therapeutic trial and see if you have any ill effects. My girlfriend and I have taken it with no ill effects in fact it really helped her a lot.
