Anyone tried Thrive probiotics?

No I haven't tried them yet. Things have been hectic and I tend to contemplate things I want to try for a while. And then I have to decide which part of the budget something of that size is coming from. 
And also, I had my baby! So I'm recovering. 
But if I do try them, I will let you know.

The only probiotics I know that were studied multiple times to be effective for UC as a treatment are visobiome double strength
Comes in a packet (900 billon ) and requires a prescription
It was not studied for crohns
Visobiome used to be vsl#3 when it was studied
The company was bought out
Changed the formula -got in trouble with fda
Original owner started visobiome using original formula that was fda approved abd studied under vsl#3
Ds has been on them to help rectal issues for his crohns for many years
It helps him since he sees a difference when stopping
It is an adjunct therapy in addition to meds he takes
It’s pricey
Not covered by insurance for most
It changes year to year
But lots of different rx apps have coupons which lower the price to between $10 to $70 a month
Much better than retail of $300 plus a month
The non ibd family just takes cultrelle sometimes
