Florastor Probiotics for Digestive & Immune Health, 30 Capsules, Probiotics for Women & Men, Dual Action Helps Flush Out Bad Bacteria & boosts The Good with Our Unique Strain Saccharomyces boulardii

Nothing short of INCREDIBLE effects! A life saver.

I am a physically active 55 yr. old male, weigh 155 lbs., am 5'11" tall, who eats well, and for the last 10 years have been battling and trying to figure out why my digestive tract has declared war on my immune system. I have experienced all manner of bloating (to the point where I needed to buy new pants) and more taxing (painful hemorrhoids) afflictions, as well as overall fatigue and general malaise. It comes in waves, lasts days/weeks, and was taking the life out of my usually upbeat disposition. I experimented with all manner of dietary adjustments, FODMAP, Paleo, non-dairy, non-sugar, non-yadd yadda to the point where I finally figured out it wasn't the food, it was my inadequate GI biome. I wasted countless hours reading pseudo-scientific blather on the internet by hack content writers expounding on food culprits to avoid (and almost everything should be avoided if you listen to these bozos). About three weeks ago, I stumbled across Florastor, and since I have been taking it, without adjusting anything else in my diet or exercise regime or lifestyle, the results have been nothing short of incredible! bear in mind, I avoid crappy fried food, eat very little dairy (low fat mozzerella cheese is OK) and make sure to get enough fiber content in my diet. This might be too much information, but I'd been experiencing very loose stools for an extended time, with no correlation to food I was eating...anything I ate seemed to cause discomfort, and in the end was appearing improperly digested. I looked up intestinal cancer, imagined every horrific possibility causing this diarrhea-like effect. I looked up things like Crohn's and IBS, and it seemed my intestinal absorption was impaired. Not digesting properly was likely related to feelings of fatigue, since my body wasn't adequately processing all the nutrients from any food I ate. After taking the Florastor (2 pills a day - one every 12 hours), I can honestly say I haven't felt this good in 10 years. It is as if I got my body back from the devil! So whatever the Saccharomyces Boulardii in Florastor is doing down in my gut, it is well worth the expense of around $2.00/day! Florastror definitely is working with my biology. I have tried Greek yogurt...bloating. I tried Culturelle...nothing, maybe even more bloating. Maybe it will work for those of you who have reached the point, like I did, where you realize that it ain't the food....it's the gut bacteria, dammit

I finally feel “normal.”

I've had stomach issues for the past year. I had bloating, discomfort and sometimes it felt like my insides were shaking. I took all kinds of gas pills, Prilosec, etc, which would give me some relief but not always. I decided to try probiotics and chose Florastor since many reviewers said their gastroenterologist recommended it. The first few days I didn't feel better, had one day of severe bloating and some constipation. Then on the fourth or fifth day, everything changed. I distinctly remember sitting on the couch and suddenly thinking, "Oh, I feel normal." It was such a shock because I realized I had forgotten this feeling of normalcy. I've slept great for the past three nights, which is a big deal for me. This is just my fourth day of feeling, "normal," but I pray to the good Lord that these pills are the answer. I've been taking two pills twice a day. I've ordered more and plan to take one pill twice a day and see how that goes. Thank you to all the reviewers who recommended this product, and thank you Florastor, you have changed my life

Life saving, game changer of a product.

Florastor is a top notch product. I take it daily because C Diff almost killed me a few years back and the Florastor directly combats C Diff. With a disease that horrible you start to become superstitious. This is a product that I'm not willing to go without to keep my gut in check as I only have half of it left. Thanks for making such a great product. I recommend ANYONE taking antibiotics to take Florastor as well during and a month after

MUST DRINK TUNS OF WATER 1 gallon with each 1 pill

I thin it is imperative that this should go in the instructions! I started to feel dizzy and mood swings with out explanation…. I realized the only thing I did difference was start these probiotics but NO one tells you to drink a gallon of water I did it by default to flush it out I ended up feeling fine and decided to try it again because it takes away all odors & sure enough it's been a few months and as long as I force myself to drink the water I'm fine, when I don't drink I literally feel like I'm hallucinating…. It's like a toilet gathering all the poop and not flushing it down if you don't drink water, it piles up in the gut all the waste it is eliminating but without water it won't flush! This is a very serious review and I hope people here me clearly…. I started reading some other reviews and how they got headaches and were hospitalized…. 100% they did NOT drink water guaranteed! This cleans gut and breath it's INCREDIBLE best probiotic yet…. Only 4 star so you could pay attention and THEY SHOULD RIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION ON THE BOTTLE ITS REALLY DANGEROUS WITHOUT I

Do a search on it if you or someone you love plan to take antibiotics

This can save your life, no kidding. People do not realize how common cdiff is or how deadly. Do a search on it if you or someone you love plan to take antibiotics...especially if taking them for a long period of time. You do not have to be feeble or sickly to get cdiff. I was healthy and in my mid 30's when it got me the first time. Once you get it, it's easy to get again. I've had it 3 times and the last time I almost didn't get rid of it. For years this product has kept me from getting it again and I will remain cdiff free; I wish I knew about it before I ever had it

causing #2 like it was born in Hell

After having C diff for a full year, it finally subsided when I went to Mayo Clinic. They put me on 4 Florastor per day as well as 2 Align. So far it's been 7 years and I have stayed free from C. Diff, even though 4 familybmembers have gotten it, 2 from antibiotics in a hospital, 2 from who knows where. WASH YOUR HANDS!! Hand sanitizer does NOT kill those spores!! (The big reason istvus now the #1 most common hospital acquired infection, causing #2 like it was born in Hell!!

KEEP SOME ON HAND

Have you noticed how many people these days have C-Dif? Well, I thought it was something being passed around just at hospitals until my husband had a tooth abscess that would not get well and was on antibiotics for weeks as the doctors tried different ones. It turns out -- that is when you might get C-Dif. Anyway, the gastroenterologist put my husband on this twice a day to protect him from getting it -- I had no idea you could get it from antibiotics killing off all your good germs!

Works but be careful with dose

Giving it 3 stars because It got rid of issues but may have caused others . Short term to get rid of something is great . Tread carefully if it's long term if it's more than 1 pill a day 1. It Helped my severe IC go away after 2 months . 2. Caused severe headaches that blew up into chronic headaches daily , also histamine intolerance . I have sibo . Not sure if it's an independent issue. Now I stopped them and symptoms subsided . Before this I had Brain fog and it subsided and my hives on head went away after eating carbs subsided . So who knows . I was taking 1-3 pills a da

A must-have when you need to take an antibiotic

Once in a while, we all end up having to take an antibiotic for one thing or another. This often leads to some pretty bad stomach issues. (Antibiotics also kill the good bacteria in your gut.) Florastor solves this problem. If you start taking it your first day on antibiotics and continue about three days after your finish with the antibiotics, you will have no stomach problems whatsoever. Highly recommended. (FYI: You're not supposed to take it with grapefruit juice.
