Florastor Daily Probiotic Supplement for Men and Women Saccharomyces B

Customer Reviews

Edited: Now Titanum dioxide-free!Update: Florastor has removed the titanium dioxide, which they used to make the capsule white, so I'm upping my review from 1 star to 4. I'll definitely try it again.Original review: This probiotic really has possibly helped a little, but the main reason for my review is my discovery that the capsules are colored with titanium dioxide -- a potentially toxic or harmful substance. Why they add this to the product, especially without disclosing it on the BOTTLE, is beyond me. Won't be buying again.4Not Good post-C DiffFive years ago, I was advised to take this probiotic after recovering from a C Diff infection. When I found myself again recovering from that cruel antibiotic regimen, I repurchased this. I kept getting sick after I was cleared of the infection. I talked to my gastroenterologist and he said that there have been reports of Saccharomyces Boulardii being super dangerous for people after C Diff. He recommended something in the Lactobacillus/acidophilus strain instead. Be careful with your digestive tract!1Pill change is not a fake pill... read my reviewI am very pleased with this probiotic. Even though it s pricey I feel it s helped a lot. I did read a lot of reviews concerning the color difference so when mine arrived also being in a clear capsule showing a tan content I called the company. They explained that any lot number over 2000 will have the new capsule. They had listened to customer feed back and changed the capsule due to it containing a certain ingredient so this is why you are seeing a new looking pill. It s not a fake pill. No need to return the item... just call the company if there s a concern like that.5Don t fear the clear (capsule)!I ve been taking Florastor for years (it has helped me recover from candida after massive doses of antibiotics) so I was horrified when my normally white capsules arrived and they were brown in color, and looking half-filled. I even started a return, but when I went to my local drug store and purchased another bottle, I found the same clear capsules with the brown powder inside. According to Florastor s website, and their updated Amazon product description, they made the choice to switch to clear capsules because the older, white ones contained titanium. They say that otherwise it s the exact, same product. I ve taken them for a few days and have had no problems. Hope this was helpful!5Great for GI problems and immune support.I continue to use Florastor because it reduces GI upset and bowel issues and I believe it has boosted my immune system. Since starting Florastor 1 pill per day over 2 years ago I have not gotten sick. I've felt things coming on (for instance a cold sore which usually means I'm about to get a cold) but my body seems to fight the virus off before it becomes a full-blown illness. I attribute this to Florastor but you can draw your own conclusions.5Are these real?Why is this brown now??? I have some of my originally purchased pills on the right and the bottle on the left is the current purchase - it looks completely different.1Great product for individuals with IBS! I am near regular again. A bit expensive, though.This probiotic is absolutely amazing. It is completely different from other probiotics I have tried, but it all depends on your own GI tract. Other probiotics have given me either constipation or diarrhea completely, whereas this one regulates me as long as I take it twice a day. I was taking it only once a day with a ton of improvement, but now that I take it twice a day it's almost as if I'm normal again. It has so many good reviews, is recommended highly by the pharmacist I asked about it, and research done on this product (e.g., PubMed) has shown that it is very useful for even those with inflammatory bowel diseases. I have cyclic vomiting syndrome and IBS and this has actually improved both syndromes' symptoms. It has also improved my GERD almost completely. I've also noticed I had an increase in energy as well when I started taking it twice a day. The only complaint is that it's a bit expensive, but since it helps me so much I'm sort of forced by buy it and take it twice a day.I just wish that they would offer some kind of discount or something for this product because it gets very expensive and I can't really afford to spend $57 every one and a half months since I have to take it twice a day. It really adds up, but I need it, unfortunately.5UPDATE - Relieves Discomfort From Antibiotic Usage - UPDATE - potential problem with lactoseHave been taking antibiotics for an infected tooth for 2 months. I gained five pounds and was bloated,gassy, miserable. Read up and learned the weight gain and discomfort may be related to the antibiotics and that this particular probiotic strain (Saccharomyces boulardii lyo) could help. When I received it, I was concerned about the lactose it contains. A little research on that showed that sometimes it actually helps stimulation of lactase and is beneficial. So I decided to give it a try. Am very happy to report that although I am only on day 3 (taking one capsule per day), I feel so much better. My belly is no longer tight and bloated and I have not experienced any symptoms from the lactose. I will update this later but right now I am very pleased with the results! UPDATE - Feb 2019. I took this from Nov 12 through beginning of January. On January 4, I had my first Diverticulitis infection. Although I cannot be positive it was the lactose in this product that irritated my diverticula, I have stopped taking it and have switched to VEGAN probiotics.5Saved my life!I ve been sick for almost 1.5 years. After a heavy course of antibiotics, my GI track was completely destroyed. Anytime I ate or drank anything I was bloated, gassy, diarrhea, chronic constipation, fatigue, pressure in my stomach, weight gain, and joint pain.I went from doctor to doctor, GI to GI who did several blood tests, a colonoscopy, endoscopy, hydascan for the gallbladder and even a naturopath. All the tests came back normal and one GI doctor wrote it off as IBS and told me to take a fiber supplement daily.I tried everything the doctors recommended with no improvement. I struggled daily and my quality of life declined. I was down to eating one meal a day to avoid going through the digestion process . I was miserable but refused to believe that this was normal and that this would be my life from now on.I never gave up researching, reading and trying different supplements to get healthy again. Nothing worked until I tried Florastor.About a week ago, I came home from work absolutely defeated and at the end of my rope. I had only eaten 2 eggs the whole day and I felt completely swollen and looked 6 months pregnant. The last doctor I went to had briefly mentioned probiotics and I had a bottle of Florastor sitting in my medicine cabinet that I never tried. I took 2 pills in the evening and shortly after felt a slight burn in my stomach. I went to sleep that night and the next morning woke up with no bloat. Later in the morning, I had the best bowel movement I ve had in 1.5 yrs (sorry tmi) and since then I have been feeling great! I take 2 pills in the morning on an empty stomach & 2 pills before dinner in the evening.I feel like the old me! No more bloat, no more GI issues, digestion is exactly how it was before I got sick and I ve even lost a few pounds! I don t feel swollen or defeated anymore. I feel like me again! Thank you Florastor, you saved my life!!!5Always take a probiotic when you are prescribed an antibiotic, always take a probiotic!I have used this probiotic in the past. The price and quantities are better from Amazon.Whenever you are prescribed an antibiotic, it is important to also take a probiotic in order to keep your gut in balance . Not doing so, can, and probably will result in an imbalance which can cause severe problems, such as c-diff, a bacterial infection. That is what happened to me, several weeks after finishing my prescription for Cipro. I ended up in the emergency room and spent three days on IVs . Don t ever take antibiotics, unless you are also taking a good probiotic, such as Florastor.5
