i used to take VSL#3 when I had UC (my doctor recommended it'd help) &I've heard people saying that the probiotic will still help after the jpouch surgery (I'm just about 2 years since my take down) but I was wondering if any of you have tried this after the surgery & seen positive results? & if so, what symptoms did it help with?

I have used it before and have been thinking about starting to use it again. So i am wondering the same thing...
My doc suggested it because our jpouch needs this for proper bowel health. I use it but you have to figure out if it works for you because each jpouch is different.
I have been using it for two years! I just mix it in with my yogurt in the morning. I believe it helps me. In fact I just had a scope done and the doctor found that I have a very mild case of pouchitis so he told me to just keep taking my vsl#3 and that should help.
I would recommend taking it. I believe it is an added benefit for our pouches!
