Enteral Nutrition and VSL#3 combo

[Naomi1]

Hi everyone

I'm on elemental 028 for two weeks - EEN. I'm tossing up whether to start taking VSL#3 when I reintroduce food this week. Is that a dangerous thing to do? My theory is that I've killed off a lot of the'bad' microbes and will be repopulating the microbiome with 'good' microbes contained in the VSL#3. I just don't want to cause any major upset by adding them in when the microbiome had been altered by the EEN.

Thanks for your help!

Be aware vsl#3 has added skim milk to the ingredients list so if you don't tolerate milk or lactose that could be an issue

Ah! Good point. Lucky I asked. Thanks very much!
