I have had my j pouch almost one year now in late september. My first couple months was really tough, I had pouchitis several times and it seemed not controllable until I started taking VSL DS twice a day in December of 2011 and since that time I have had no pouchitis and feeling great! However, even with my insurance, 3 months supplies cost $100 and I would like to start cutting back to maybe 1 per day to reduce that cost. I would ask my surgeon but she is new to the VSL thing as well, didn't know about it until I heard it from people on here. Is there a good way to cut back or should I just keep doing the same?

Thanks,

Jason (FAP diagnosed in 2002)
