Re: Probiotis/VSL3 aggrevating colitis?

I became nauseated each time I used VSL3. I have had good results with 
Nature's Way Primadophilus (they make one with Reuteri as well). A major 
advantage of the Nature's Way probiotics is that they are enteric-coated, 
which means that the beneficial bugs actually have a chance of surviving 
exposure to your stomach acids and reaching your intestines. There is some

doubt whether the organisms in probiotics without enteric coating ever
reach 
the intestines--they are mostly killed by stomach acids. (I believe that 
Solgar and Jarro-Dophilus probiotics are also enteric-coated--check the 
labels). The respected Consumers Union (publishers of Consumers Re****ts) 
stated in their article on probiotics:

"All the pills we tested disintegrated properly, which means that their 
bacteria are released in the body, but not necessarily in the intestines.
In 
theory, enteric-coated pills may help organisms reach and colonize the 
intestines, experts said."
