Probiotics in the UK?

[Ian]

Can anyone recommend a strong probiotic supplement that's available in the UK? I've been taking one for a few months but it's only 5 billion bacteria which I understand is a small number compared to the amount people take to try and manage IBD. I wanted to get VSL-3 but I'm not sure it's available here - or if it is you have to order online which concerns me as I believe it needs to be kept refrigerated and I don't trust places like amazon etc to keep it cool in transit lol.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hiya Ian

There are a hundred trillion microflora in the gut and only a billion in a pot of yoghurt, but I think introducing this small number of friendly bacteria can change that whole population.
But I've read about these

These are usually £18 but only just over a tenner from this site.

Hi, yes you can buy Vsl3 in the uk ,I bought them online but cant post the link on here as i am a newbie but if you google vsl#3 shouldn't be too hard to find . They come packaged with a with a cold pack inside and were also sent recorded delivery ,the only drawback i found was the price ,they are not cheap and i could not persuade my gp or consultant to give me a prescription for them .
