Florastore dosing?

[trintiybella]

Does anyone know how much florastore can be given for clostridia?

I've never seen any warnings with respect to "overdosing" probiotics, though in our experience, too much can lead to some extra gas and bloating. There's a "sweet spot" somewhere in there for every person, though I suspect it's highly individualized based on each person's gut biome.

 

What does the label on the bottle of Florastor recommend?

 

Once we found the Jarrow brand of sachromyces boulardi (same organism in Florastor, but considerably less expensive), we stopped buying Florastor. During abx use, we were giving our DS one sach b. capsule, twice daily. We were also dosing other probiotic strains at the same time, though.

 

My only concern with respect to hefty doses of sach b. specifically is that it is very effective against diarrhea, so potentially once could, I suppose, wind up with some constipation if in too high doses? But again, I expect that would depend upon diet and other supplements, meds, etc., as well.

 

Good luck!

Thanks, what other probiotics did you use, along with the florastore?

We used "Ultimate Flora" made by Renew Life (you can get it at Whole Foods or the Vitamin Shoppe, in their coolers). It's a high-quantity, multistrain probiotic.

Hello is Clostridia the same as clostridium spp?
