     I was taking Powerdolphilus by Country Life but for some reason or other my last order didn't go through and now they want more money for the bottle of 200.  Is there a good probiotic, reasonably priced, I could order online?  Do any of you get free shipping?  Thank you.

I don't know Christine - sure there is.  I just get Align at the drugstore.  Or maybe you could find yours cheaper at a Health Store.

Hope you are doing better.  I actually am doing better dealing with this myself with what I have.  I am trying cortifoam every other night and Anusol the other nights.  Gas is WAY down, have not seen any blood for days and just soft stools - not really diarrhea.  Taking 1/2 Imodium  when needed.  The biggest this I hate is the nausea which a Prilosec at night as well as morning seems to be helping.

The probiotics I've found that really work aren't "reasonably priced," but are ordered online.

Florastor seems to be helping me (who knows, maybe other meds are?) but it is pricey ($34+ shipping for 25 days via Drugstore.com and that is $15 less than local pharmacy was pre-tax).

     Wow, guess mine were pretty reasonable then.   My nutritionist recommended the Powerdolphilus and I guess it was working well because my UC hasn't traveled up into the colon.  It is contained in the rectum.

     I only paid about $12 for a bottle of 200 plus $5 for shipping.  But I see the price has gone up.

I usually buy from vitacost or vitabase, they are both quick and have reasonable prices. You can find most brands on either site. I usually use MegaFlora or Primal Defense but I have been thinking about looking for something less expensive for my next order.

     Thank you.  I just ordered the Powerdolphilus from Vitacost.  I believe the total with the shipping was something like $17 for a bottle of 200.  Works for me.

Wow I guess I need to research more and find a cheaper one!

You should always search for coupon codes online before ordering, sometimes you can save a buck or 2. I am happy you got a good deal. the prices of vitamins online blow away drugstore prices.

Wow, I'll have to look online. I have been using what I thought was cheap Rite Aid brand (seems to be helping). It is $14 for 8 days. $17 for 200 sounds much better! Is that one pill per day?

     I take three per day.
