I had chronic pouchitis since my ostomy closure surgery in early December and plan to try VSL#3 to see if it helps. Should I go for the powder that you have to mix with water, etc., or the capsules?

I've been using the caps simply because I got a supply of samples via my office but I separate the caps and put the powder in my morning smoothie

4 capsules equal 1 packet of powder in amount of live bacteria. We use the capsules because it's easier (and less argument causing)to take for my 10 year old. He takes 2 in the morning and 2 at night but then he's just a 65lb kid so I would assume an adult amount would at the very least be double to triple that. I think for alot of people it's a pricing issue - how much they need to take and which is the most affordable way.

My son has his next pouchoscopy in 2 weeks to see if the VSL#3 worked to clear up his "angry pouch"
