Florastore dosing?


Recommended Posts

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!
