Hey Smarty -- I imagine the ideal dose varies from person to person. Plus, I would start it low and gradually build it up as dumping a large dose on him might cause a lot of excess gas. Our DS14, 150 pounds, takes 10 billion units of sach boulardis daily, 5 billion at each of morning and night. But he only takes abx twice each day, too. So maybe you could start with 5 billion and add another capsule after a few days, and if he needs more assistance, add another, too, since he's taking the abx 3 times each day.

I think the concentration of the Florastor boulardii is high enough for an adult, at one twice a day.

The jarrow has much less, i think 18billion, so i would use 3-4 per day, as an adult.

thanks mom. you're always so helpful!

 

sorry amjoy -- are you saying 18 billion units per day or 18 X 3 ? the jarrow is what we have and it's 5 billion per capsule.
