Vsl#3

Anyone tried this? A consultant recommended it for ibsC. I tried some probiotics and had severe cramps with mucus. The doctor doubts it was the probiotics though but I'm nervous about trying them again. I've since seen homeopathic nutritionist who also recommended VSL. It is super expensive but if it helps then I don't mind . I just don't want those cramps again.

  1. Hi Sandy, I don't have any personal experience with this probiotic but you're not the only one who experienced worsening symptoms after taking a probiotic. I found this discussion about VSL#3: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/do-probiotics-work-for-ibs-m and I'll also link back to your original question from February in case you hadn't seen Elizabeth's answer: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/vsl-3-probiotic. If you end up trying the probiotics, I really hope they'll work for you. Wishing you all the best, Karina (team member)
