For Diarrhea "Had terrible diarrhea as a result of taking an antibiotic that I needed to stop. Gastroenterologist on call recommended I take two Florastor twice a day. On the third day, I broke out in terrible hives that have not cleared up. Been taking Benadryl and using triamcinolone ointment to help. If it doesn't get better, I need to go on a prednisone pack. Not happy at all."

"Love Florastor. It stopped months of stomach problems from afib medications. I take Florastor Pre with fiber, but I am lactose intolerant and it is made with lactose (gives a lot of people terrible diarrhea, I've read). Once I realized that, I started taking Simethicone, Lactaid, and Gas-X along with it because it works so well. I can't imagine not taking it. I also take Pepcid. I tried Trubiotic before, and it burns my kidneys. Florastor gives me mental clarity and much better digestion, and I'm extremely grateful."

"I had a urinalysis that was suspicious of UTI, but no typical UTI symptoms. Took antibiotics for a week. Became severely bloated after antibiotics, even though I took my usual probiotic during treatment. My doc suggested Florastor. I took it for 3 days. On the 2nd day, bloating was gone. I did not have diarrhea, but it did increase the number of bowel movements on the 2nd day. But I developed severe and lasting pelvic cramping. By the 3rd night, I woke up with painful pelvic pain. I stopped it, and the cramping stopped so far. Not sure if this was the cause. My urine culture did not reveal any significant issue, but maybe a mild infection."

For Diarrhea "This is contrary to what Florastor is supposed to do, and the events may be coincidental. I report them as they happened and wonder if anyone had a similar experience. I was prescribed the antibiotic Augmentin for an onset of diverticulitis. The ER doctor suggested I take a probiotic with it. I took Augmentin without effect for two days until Florastor arrived. I took two of them with food in the AM. In a couple of hours, perhaps fewer, I was struck with repeated diarrhea, about five episodes. I was wakened from sleep twice because of it. It lasted about 20 hours. I stopped Florastor for two days until I'd finished the Augmentin. I then took one Florastor pro and one pre/pro. Diarrhea followed, about the same as previously. I've taken no more Florastor, there has been no intestinal distress."
