What are the best probiotics?
Posted , 14 users are following.
Firstly I'd like to say thank goodness I've found this forum, it's brilliant! I was diagnosed with DVD six months ago & although I have a very supportive partner he will never fully understand how debilitating this horrible disease is & what a lonely place it can be sometimes, it's reassuring to know I'm not alone.
Since my my diagnosis I have completely changed my diet & things had been ok'ish. But two weeks ago I had a flare up which has improved slightly with antibiotics, but I'm still not quite there. I've been reading about the VSL3 probiotics but they are so expensive & I just wondered if anyone has found a cheaper alternative?

It's great to hear a happy ending to your story, I suppose I'm lucky that mine isn't as bad a yours was & hopefully it won't be but that's the awful thing about this disease isn't it, you just never know what's coming! I'm so pleased you see feeling better & I hope it stays that way x

You have definitely come to the right place for support and understanding. I don't know what I'd do without the friends I've found on here. I've gotten way better advice from here than from any of my doctors.
Sorry for your diagnosis but welcome to the family
