I just heard this on the CBC and thought it was worth posting. I've been researching Dr. Wallace and his colleagues and they seem to believe that bacteria and probiotics are going to be a key to effectively treating/curing IBD.

I've been on remicade for about 8 months...even thought I've been better it wasn't until I started taking VSL#3 late november that I formed a good hard one...and went a day without a BM. Coincidence? Maybe...but I haven't poo'd today.

My GI who didn't give pro-biotics much attention, thinking they were not of great benefit given the cost seems to have changed his mind and recommended them...based on new research he's come across.

BTW: that link didn't really show anything on topic? Unless I missed something.

It should link to the Premier's Choice Awards site where you can listen to the winners including Dr. Wallace speak. Otherwise, you can go to the CBC radio website and listen to him being interviewed on the Ideas program.
