Several people have ask if this product is corn, soy, or lactose  
free.  I called the company and was told that the unflavored one has  
lactic acid and corn starch.   The lemon flavored one, which is what  
I have has lactic acid, no corn, and natural flavorings.  She said it  
contains maltose, but that the product is gluten free. Neither  
product contains soy.  I have called twice and was told the product  
is gluten free.   I might call them back on Monday again to question  
someone else about the source of the maltose.  I referenced this site  
which says maltose is ok.  http://www.celiac.ca/EnglishCCA/egfdiet2.html
I believe it is only a problem for us when the source is barley.
Several people have also ask about the cost.  I paid $28 for a 10 pac  
and $85 for a 30 pac.

Some responses:
My daughter's gastro recommended VSL#3 but she couldn't take it  
because of an allergy issue,
it was either soy or corn in the process.  I am glad to know it works  
though in case she ever needs
it.

I am looking, actually. I recently discovered I am allergic to dairy
and soy- the two most common substances used to grow probiotic
cultures. All the probiotics I have used had milk protein in them!

My doc put me on it 18 months ago. It is great stuff.  It has made a  
huge difference to my GI tract.  Seventy dollars a month is pricey,  
but worth it. (i'm only taking one a day as against the 4 a day I  
started off on)
