Has VSL helped anyone?

I've been on VSL a couple months and had a scope recently; the results were pretty bad so I don't think VSL has helped me any. VSL has given me some really terrible gas in huge volumes; that much I can attest to haha. Once my prescription runs out I am done with it.

Works for some people though, so give it a shot with some healthy skepticism.

VSL has helped many, including me. Haven't seen remission yet though but most of my BM's are solid with no blood.

Yes, it definitely helps me. I take the DS now. On maintenance I take one packet a day (900 billion) but I've taken up to 4 a day in a flare and it has definitely helped. A few years ago in a flare I experimented on myself and stopped taking it and my symptoms got worse; restarted, symptoms got better. I tried that several times because I just couldn't believe it (and, given the price, I didn't want to believe it! lol) My poops sure smelled different the first few days.... but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, my first thought was, Ohh.... this is what it smelled like when I was a kid (before my UC...).."

It's helped me.
