Can Florastor cause problems with milk products?

Postby BetsyS » Sat May 09, 2020 12:19 pm

Hi- As many know from my posts, I am 3 mos. post a Vanco taper. I am suffering from PI IBS, and waiting to see my GI. Since contracting C Diff, I've been able to tolerate small amounts of dairy in my diet. I keep track of foods I eat, and generally know which ones I need to avoid, which leads to my question.

I've been suffering horrible D and bloating the last two days, and am wondering if Florastor combined with dairy is the problem. I don't take Florastor daily because taken too frequently sometimes causes bloating, but not D. Cottage cheese in small amounts is a regular part of my diet; it's never caused any issues. I had both on Thursday and have been miserable ever since. I've stuck to my tried and true diet; nothing else would account for it, unless my C Diff is back. (This is day 3, and so far so good) It must be the combination.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

I take 4 pills of Florastor everyday , two in AM and two in PM and haven't any issue so far. I added 3 tablespoon of Manuka Honey 15+ UMF to my diet since yesterday and it seems to be helping with the PI-IBS
