Hi @cornsilk5, it looks like your post and question slipped past me. Sorry you’ve had to wait for a response. I added your message to the Digestive Health as well as the Ostomy group.

You may wish to review this older discussion that @maureenboblitt started here:

I’m tagging @candywocrn @nadine89 @cah22 @duckduck2020 @kenc who may have some experience to share with you regarding Entyvio and if probiotics are helpful.

Cornsilk, may I ask why you had colon surgery 32 years ago?

I have Crohn's disease.

I had the large intestine and rectum removed 32 years ago at Mayo. Therefore, I have to use a pouch and wafer. I never had any problems and worked for many years until I was 72 years. Recently, when my husband passed, I started having problems. I think I was exhausted from taking care of him. Anyway I am now on Entyvio infusions every 8 weeks and would like to keep improving on the situation. I thought maybe taking probiotics would help balance the white/red blood cells. My colitis is when there are too many white blood cells.
