So I am 2 weeks postpartum and am fighting my first bout of pouchitis. My surgeon called in a script for cipro so hopefully this will help clear it up. He also wants me to take VSL #3 however as I am not working, and not making money right now, I cannot afford to purchase this item. Does anyone have a probiotic they swear by that I might try? I have used VSL #3 in the past however don't feel it really did anything. Please let me know what you take! Thanks guys!
