I think you are talking about Florastor

Yes, something like this, which is a yeast http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Sacharomyces-Boulardii-Capsules/dp/B0013OVW0E

Saccromyces boulliardi.

Another vote for sach b. Florastor is an expensive name brand, but we've had success with a less expensive version made by Jarrow (via the Vitamin Shoppe), too.

 

Also, lactobacillus gg (name brand Culturelle) is supposed to be similarly impervious, according to our ped. I would still see if I could space it out, though, if even just a little.
