Do you have to have a prescription or can you get them at a dietary store? Also which ones are the best? Any info will be very much appreciated. I use Asacol (2 tabs 3x daily) and Rowasa or a generic kind called Teva or Tena once every few days just when needed but I'm really interested in finding more info about these probiotics. 34 yr. old male diagnosed w/ UC in 1998.

Probiotics are natural supplements... they don't require a prescription. You can order them online or find them at natural/health food stores.

I take Acidophilus Pearls and get them at our organic grocery store. There have been a ton of posts on probiotics. Consider doing a search at the top of the page for more information.

I use Primadophilus Reuteri made by natures way, very affordable, has guaranteed intestinal release, aids with high cholesterol and lactose intolerance if you have those issues as well, if not, it's still fine to take...it must be kept cold, only one/day is needed compared to many that require 4 or more/day, that makes it get very expensive too.

I've had great results with it...google it for more info.

find out what type you'd like to try, then buy it at vitacost.com!!
super cheap and pretty quick shipping.
i would have to pay $77 locally for the probiotic i am taking and i get it at vitacost.com for only $40!
