jpucher here.. anyone else have trouble .. like immediate trouble with vsl3... after a round of antibioitics (cipro/flagyl) and still on predizone.. the first day I took VSL I had numerous bouts of visits to the toilet with false alarms.. little coming out at a time.. got to the point where I wonder if it was a bad reaction to the probiotic?? anyone else?

Many people cannot take the full dose right away, but need to start out with a much smaller dose and gradually work up to a therapeutic dose. Some never tolerate it at any dose and it just consistently makes things worse.
Nothing is effective or even benign to everyone.

I did a very small dose (like 1 tsp of the powder in water) for a few weeks. Never did anything but give me incredible amounts of gas. I've since gone on Florastor and Culturelle instead without the bad side effects. As Jan said, VSL just doesn't agree with some people.
