I had my j pouch created in October of 2011 because of FAP. A couple months later I got pouchitis that my surgeon thinks was most likely due to a stricture. He suggested I begin taking VSL and since that time I've had no problems. However, I'm on new insurance and a year's worth of VSL is going to cost nearly $1800. I would rather go with something less expensive and was hoping there were some suggestions for probiotics that are productive. Plus I'm not really sure if I need to continue on VSL since the main problem was probably a stricture. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
