VSL #3 is seriously one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted. I could not tolerate it at all. I found mixing it with orange juice to be the best way to get it down but I still just couldn't do it. I now bring my packets to a compounding pharmacy and have them put them into pill form. I find the cost worth it than not taking it at all.

I now mix mine in a small glass of Kefir (Mango-Orange flavored). It's really delicious. You can also try mixing it with vanilla flavored milks. Mix well with a fork to blend it in. I actually look forward to drinking it.

I add it to Greek yogurt and not able to taste it...only a slight lemon taste.

I find the VSL completely disappears in yogurt (I prefer Greek yogurt, since it's lower in lactose). Even when I'm traveling for work I try to find someplace to buy yogurt. My back-up method mixes it it the same water as my Metamucil (orange), but it's definitely medicine-tasting if I do it that way. I take too much VSL to use the capsules - 4 DS packets/day.

Thanks for everyone's reply but I cannot eat yogurt. I am not allowed any milk products as it causes me major problems.

Rocket, if you're lactose-intolerant, have you tried vanilla-flavored almond milk? It is dairy-free and lactose-free.

Actually, I don't know if I am Lactose intolerant or not. I do know that if I drink reg milk like whole milk or fat free or skim milk, even Lactaid, all kinds of cheese except grated parm cheese, ice cream, etc. I suffer greatly.

I do drink Rice Milk but I was under the impression that you should not use milk because it weakens what your taken, like meds.

Mixing it in rice milk or almond milk is a great idea. I don't think it will weaken anything.

I use VSL#3 DS (double strength) with cranberry juice or soy yogurt. I do not taste it in either one.

I don't tolerate most milk products well, but I mix my vsl#3DS in a scoope of ice cream after dinner and mix it up really good. Can't taste it at all. And lets me look forward to taking my medicine!

Thank you all for your input.

I took the VSL with 1/2 glass of Rice Milk and couldn't taste it all.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I mix in with yogurt. Cant taste it at all. With water it is nasty!

Apple sauce or greek yogurt or kefir.
