Hello,
I have just bumped into this new formula which I have never heard of before: Livespo. It is marketed specifically for IBDs. Any feedback? Has anyone tried it out yet?

I just looked it up on Amazon. I see good reviews. Ordered it. Will keep you posted how it goes. Fingers crossed.

I did some reading and it looks the Bacillus genus(The strain in this probiotic) may be problematic for people with weak immune systems(I guess I am cz I am on imuran). Also it looks like spore forming bacteria are harder to kill once they go out of control(which can happen with opportunistic bacteria). Anyway I will give it a shot. Hopefully it doesn't make my UC worse smile

I once tried a soil-based probiotic and never again! I developed a horrible cough which just didn't go away, I'm absolutely sure it was caused by this probiotic. It only went away after flagyl.
