vsl #3 question

I have decided to start trying this again. I think I have been taking it for about 2 - three weeks now. lately I am experiencing, slight nausea and alot of burping. Has any one had similar side effects from probiotics. I am mixing a packet into yogurt in the morning. It is the VSL #3 DS specifically. I hate to give up too soon again, but I am debating stopping them just to see if this indigestion goes away. I am currently flaring badly also. taking colazal too

I get nausea because i take it with water and it tastes like crap. Otherwise i suggest you take it at night not in the morning as your symptoms shouldnt bither you when youre sleeping.

I stopped it before because I thought it was giving me gas. I skipped today and felt better than yesterday. I will try it again tomorrow I guess.

allswell, I'm assuming you were doing the satchets. Are they covered by insurance? If you have to pay for them out of pocket I would recommend getting the capsules instead of the satchets. It is way easier to control how much you take this way. The capsules have 112.5 billion each while one satchet I believe has 450 billion. If you take too much at one time before your body gets used to that dosage, it will give you gas. You kind of have to build your way up to larger doses and that is a lot easier with the capsules than trying to split up dosages with those satchets. It's got to be a little of a pain to have opened partial satchets laying around.
