FlorastorAdvanced Probiotic & Prebiotic Fiber Supplement

I have used Florastor brand for probably eight months now. On vacation I could not find the exact one I was using but bought this one as my second choice which now IS MY FIRST CHOICE. I have had many pro and pre-biotics but this one is the VERY BEST. It has practically fixed all my gut problems that I've had my whole life and I am 70 years old. I honestly don't know what this one has that the other types of this brand has, but this one works best for me. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Regardless of the cost, try it. It's worth every penny. I have a subscription now.

I'm a caregiver for my Mother, who is 87 years old. Once in a while she is prescribed antibiotics. With any antibiotics, you'll get diarrhea and these will prevent that from happening or make is less dramatic. They are easy to swallow and have no taste. I've ordered these twice and will gladly do so again.

This is the best pre and probiotic. It is formulated for use with and after antibiotic use. Wish I had found it 5 years ago, it has restored my gut health after nasty side effects of antiviral use. It costs a little more but is worth it. Can cause a little constipation, but stops diarrhea

I am going to get really direct here. If you don't want to hear about bowel habits, you probably don't want to read this review. I started taking these, because I have trouble sometimes with being very regular with my stools. Since childhood, I have tended to get constipated every week or two, feeling bloated and heavy, and having very hard stools when I could go again. I have actually had anal fissures in the past, because of how hard some stools were. I started taking another probiotic in the morning several weeks before I started taking this one in the evening: which has prebiotics and probiotics. At first, adding these seemed to help even more with softening stools, minimizing gas pain and bloating, and regulating me to go every day or two. I no longer have any signs of fissures. Now that I have been taking them for about 2 months, I seem to have settled back into my historical habit of only going every 3 days or so. However, it is easier to go, even though the stools are bulkier. I may go back to only taking the morning probiotics (the other type I have reviewed here), just so I am only buying 1 kind of probiotic: a) the other brand is cheaper, b) the other brand seems to help enough on its own, and c) these capsules are freaking HUGE, and sometimes difficult to swallow if they turn 'sideways' at all as I'm swallowing them. I do have a small mouth (jaw and throat). You definitely should take these with at least ten ounces of water, and I personally try to drink at least 16-20 ounces when trying to take them, to be sure they are washed down thoroughly. I drink a LOT of water every day. Adding to the bulk of my stools has not been a problem because they are enough softer (with all that water) that they rarely cause any pain at all anymore. All in all, these work to aid digestion and minimize constipation, but they are very large for me to swallow. They are in an easily recyclable glass bottle, so that is an additional advantage to these, but not enough to make up for their size and cost. If I took two of these per day, as suggested on the bottle, note that a whole bottle would last only two weeks.

Have been taking these for a few years and they work well. My daughter, who is a nurse, was surprised when I told her I was taking them and said they are what the hospital gives patients with gut problems. I will continue taking them and trust they will continue working for me.

I worked for 26 years as a hospital inpatient pharmacist. This was the main probiotic ordered by the physicians for the patients in the hospital. My own doctor told me to take it on more than one occasion. I believe in it's efficacy and in the days now of MAHA I will be resuming the use of Florastor.

I have a colonoscopy coming up in two days and for the last six days I have had to go off of my Florastor. What is the saying, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Very true in this case. Definitely noticed a difference after a few days. As soon as my procedure is done, and I am cleared by my doctor to do so I am starting it back up again.😊

I recently had to take antibiotics for a tooth infection. As a person who suffers from C-diff, I avoid antibiotics like the plague. But after doing research on the best probiotics to take for sufferers of C-diff this one was named in several articles. So I started taking this a few days after I started the antibiotics as I had to wait for it to arrive. I had no issues from taking the antibiotics.
