My husband has been taking VSL#3 for many years and it has really helped him with his Chrons/Colitis symptoms. However, there is a problem and a lawsuit with the supplier of VSL#3 and he's been unable to get any. Can anyone recommend a comparable probiotic that could help? We are leaving the country soon for 2 weeks so we are looking for something that we can take overseas with us. Thank you!

I'm having the same problem getting VSL3, but I asked my GI if there were any other probiotics i could take and he said that the best one, the one that by far helps the most with UC is VSL3, and he didn't really recommend any others, which was disappointing. My mom did some research after that and found Florastor. I guess it isn't known to be as effective but when I asked my GI about it, he wasn't opposed. Here's a link with a bit more information about it, but if you aren't able to get any more VSL3, Florastor might be worth a shot.

Hope this helps and you find the relief youre looking for!

I just ordered some online because no local pharmacy had it. I got it through Wal-Mart. They shipped it in a cooloer with icepacks. Here is the link:
