Florastor is a Probiotic which helps you maintain your intestinal function. The main thing about Florastor that makes it different is that it is a yeast, unlike acidophilus. Florastor can be used with antibiotics because it won’t be killed off by the antibiotic.
When my husband suffered from C. Diff in November it was caused by an antibiotic. The treatment though, was a strong antibiotic. He had to take it no matter how badly he felt. And he was sick. He was hospitalized for the C. Diff and then again for being dehydrated from taking the antibiotic. Even with acidophilus, he still had diarrhea.
C. Diff is becoming more common, we’ve learned, in people in the community. It is usually an illness that attacks people in nursing homes or people with prolonged hospital stays. My husband is proof of this. It was a terribly frightening time for all of us and it took months for him to recover. He finally got a clean bill of health a few days ago. He let the doctor know that he was using Florastor and he approved of it.
Saccharomyces boulardii or the brand name Florastor is all natural and can be used by all ages from infant to adult. Use it when you travel, are under stress or are irregular. (Always see a physician if you are having serious intestinal problems.) There are over 100 published studies about its effectiveness.
My Review: Because Florastor can be taken with antibiotics and is all natural, this is what my husband has chosen to use to prevent any more problems in the future. The capsules can be opened and poured into juice or onto food if your stomach is upset. We never want to go through this again.
Purchase: You can buy Florastor at your local drugstore.

A very exciting fact for us people that are lactose intolerant is that it contains no milk proteins and that the amount of lactose monohydrate is so small that it shouldn’t bother us

Florastor is non-pathogenic (good) yeast, not a bacterium like acidophilus.
There are no milk proteins found in Florastor. However, it does contain lactose monohydrate in a very small amount. Many lactose and dairy sensitive patients have reported good results while taking Florastor.

Q) If I am allergic to yeast, can I still take Florastor®?
A) Florastor has been studied in recurring yeast infections (Candida) and has shown to be 60-70% effective. The yeast that most people develop allergies to is pathogenic yeast. Saccharomyces boulardii lyo is non-pathogenic yeast. As with any product, consult your health care professional before taking Florastor.

Swelling and irritation of the large intestine can be soothed by probiotics (L. acidophilus or Florastor). Florastor is non-pathogenic (good) yeast, not a bacterium like acidophilus.
No refrigeration needed..
Probiotics are live micro-organisms (good bugs) that, when taken, produce health benefits.
