I know this is true! I was taking VSL#3 for a year and kept my Crohns under control, for the most part. Then I went off and wanted to see if it was working or not because it is so expensive. $88 bucks a box, depends on your bm I take two and there for two boxes last a month, and shipping that is $208.00 CA. But I am back on it again (takes 3 weeks for optimal performance) and I am slowly getting rid of the gas, pain, grumbling in my stomach. Yeah I am on Entocort and Pentasa and once in a while Flagyl when it gets away on me.
Thanks for this study. The CCFC.ca has researched findings on there two. Just recently VSL#3 is conducting a Crohns study, it was used for Colitis but alot Crohns people are finding it useful. Rifaxmin and VSL shows promise. You can bet I am going to get my Gi to write a script for Rifaxmin, he was the one who recommended the VSL... What ever works for ya!
