In recent years more and more doctors are seeing value in probiotics. Most are still Neanderthals when it comes to diet though.
A doctor's prescript
ion is only needed for VSL#3DS. Most of the other probiotics including regular VSL#3 can be bought OTC.
Unfortunately there is no test available that can indicate to a doctor what your optimum probiotic should be. Everyone is different and you need to find the one for your individual body chemistry. Trial and error. VSL3 is very popular here but in your case you probably will want to begin with small doses.
