Just curious what probiotics everyone is taking out there and what works best?

There are some other posts on probiotics. But, to recap, I take VSL #3 (started on the advice of a GI) and Ultimate Flora Critical Care, both every day. That seems to work best for me.
PB8 is another my GI had recommended, but it didn't seems to do anything for me.
Everyone seems different in which ones work for them, but a lot of people do think they help.

I used to use probiotic caps but they didn't do anything. Now I just eat Activia and drink kefir. But I plan on trying out that Ultimate Flora soon.

I started taking VSL 3 last week. I think I can tell a significant difference. I haven't taken the recommended dose for active uc because of the cost yet but I am gonna try when I get my new shipment in.

I take 1  Ultimate Flora Critical care as soon as I get up in the morning and 1 bottle of Bio-k at night before bed.  I have been doing pretty good for a while so I would say they definately help.  I do notice as soon as I stop taking them my symptoms start to get worse.

I don't notice any being better or worse than others. I use MegaFlora

I take a NutraVital product, Canadian-made, which has 12 strains and is mostly bifidus. Seems to help D a lot.

Can you buy probiotics from stores like CVS? Next week I was thinking of picking up some of the natural remedies for UC like Omega 3 capsules and probiotics but wasn't sure if you can find those at a pharmacy.
