VSL#3 is very expensive, they do offer a printable coupon on their website that's about 30% off.
The one you linked to seems to make no claims on number of bacteria from the images posted, just 300mg of "probiotic blend". This is a red flag to me. The Amazon description does give a number, but it's 1 billion, which is childs play. The double strength vsl is 900 billion.
You might as well get something [like this] (https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Probiotic-Supplement/dp/B00AR0FREW) and just not take full doses (it's a powder you scoop out). The bacteria per dollar is about a factor of 10 greater than the one you posted.
Another note, the probiotics that need refrigeration generally work better.
I can't reply directly to your post, but I recommend going low fodmap. (And going to see a doctor who specializes in functional medicine or a naturopath). I have had the same issue of being intolerant to many different fruits and vegetables. If low fodmap works for you, you can probably tolerate controlled amounts of certain fruits and vegetables. The Monash University app is a great resource too. It lists amounts in grams for tolerance thresholds for many fruits, vegetables and other food groups
