I think it's worth keeping in mind that there are other things in Good Belly drinks than just the Lp299v, so I don't think there's anyway you can meaningful conclude that it was this probiotic...
Are you referring to Lp299v? As I explain above Culturelle has a strain of Lactobacillus called "GG," it's different from Lp299v. Both have been studied in relation to IBD and colitis, though, and...
Thanks for the reply. I hear you about getting tired of taking a lot of different things. I guess if you're taking VSL3 it would be hard to tell if Lp299v is doing anything more. In fact, I can't...
Unfortunately, I find that there is so much misinformation, partial information, and extremely subjective accounts of the effects of various different treatments (including probiotics) that if you...
I don't see much discussion here of the Lp299v strain of Lactobacillus planturum and colitis. Wondering if people have had any experience with it or knowledge about it? I found this pdf, which cites...
I'd just like to add my two cents that I think drawing conclusions from this mice study is very incorrect (and it is likely being misunderstood). Butyrate enemas (another term for butyric acid) are...
The link that ahnadlass1 already provided in the post above refers to a study on Crohn's disease that found enteric coated fish oil supplements beneficial. Some people speculate that the benefit seen...
Does anyone have references to research supporting the use of enteric coated fish oil, instead of non-enteric coated, for treatment and maintenance of remission in colitis? I see studies on Crohn's...
The second article, the actual scientific study, is long and difficult to read, but it does support the conclusion that you can't just use a probiotic like VSL3 and expect to get yogurt with the same...
I've seen a lot of people say you need a prescription for VSL3 DS. Even a VSL3 rep told me this in an email a couple days ago. But I asked yesterday at both Target and CVS pharmacies and they said...
I hate to rain on the VSL3 yogurt parade. I recently read about it in another forum and was excited about the idea of making yogurt with VSL3 as a starter. Right now I use a starter that has three...
I'm confused about people saying VSL3 DS requires a prescription. I was told this also by a representative of the company that makes VSL. But I went to CVS and Target today and they both said they...
