I have tried many different formulations of probiotics, including VSL, 
and they all (call me a slow learner) made my CD symptoms worse.

I still believe that a population of good intestinal bacteria can be 
helpful in IBD, but I'm convinced that I'm not going to achieve it with 
any commercial "probiotic" product. I've had better success, for short 
periods, eating raw-milk cheeses. The theory is, run many kinds of 
bacteria through my gut and hope that one beneficial kind sets up 
housekeeping and stays. And if not, at least the cheese is tasty.
