I live in Vancouver, B.C., Canada and I want to know if I can buy Culturelle, Florajen, VSL3 and Flora Q here, and if so, where?
Thanks!

Hi Solly,
You can get VSL#3 from Seaford Pharmaceuticals. They are in Toronto but will ship it to you.
Don't know about the others.

Here is the Canadian site for ordering VSL#3. I ordered some and had it within a couple of days.

The Canadian distributor changed last summer and you can buy direct rather than paying much more through a pharmacy.

Here is the link:
http://www.ferring.com/en/global/global_locator/canada.htm

If the link does not work: it is Ferring, 200 Yorkland in Toronto (416) 490-0121. They sell it at around a 10% premium of the US price.

Ciao

John

I have ordered Culturelle from Luckyvitamin.com and iherb.com. iherb has cheaper shipping and handling but I have had positive experiences with both those companies.


I'll walk this winding road into the great unknown.

Hey guys
I have had my pouch now since 2002 and had lots of problems at first but started taking acidophilus ( made by Jamieson the vitamine people)which I think is a probiotic and omega 3 capsules with every meal and have not had a pouchitis attack since, and get this I drink soft drinks and eat practically anything I want and no problems.The only time I have to be careful is when I go on holidays. It seems that the change in diet can sometimes cause a very mild bout of pouchitis which is easily taken care of by taking Imodium and adding more acidophilus to my diet.It could be caused by lack of exercise from sitting by the ocean for long periods of time. Sometimes to much R&R is not healthy.Anyways I believe you can buy acidophilus at any drug store in Canada and the USA.I buy mine from Shoppers Drug Mart.
