Dear
I would like to inform you that Tab sompraz D is for acid reflux while VSL 3 is a probiotic. If you have only acid reflux then there is no need to take VSL 3 and if you have acid reflux along with diarrhoea etc then VSL 3 can be taken along with sompraz D, to replace gut flora .
Hope this will help you.
If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me .

I have acid reflux and constipation doc..
Brief Answer:
No need to take VSL 3.
Detailed Answer:
Dear. There is no need to take VSL 3 for this. By taking it, we are not really addressing the underlying issue in acid reflux. Here it is not that the bacteria in your gut are harming you, here, the acid produced in your stomach is 'refluxing' or backing up into your esophagus (food pipe) causing the discomfort.
You take Sompraz D for your acid reflux and for your constipation try to eat fiber rich diet that consist of fruits and salads . Drink plenty of water do exercise also as sedentary life style will also cause constipation. If still you have constipation then try a laxative as well for a short course. Of course, make sure you take all of these under the medical supervision of a doctor who has actually examined you. We are assuming here that you have Acid Reflux, though such a diagnosis, requires physical examination and testing. Also, remember, there is an easier and cheaper way to re-establish a healthy colony of gut bacteria, by eating plain curds. You can try doing that right away if you like, and save yourself having to pop another pill.
Hope this will help you.
