A member asked:

Does florastor cause uti's or help treat them...i have read articles about both situations and was quite confused. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probiotic: Forastor is a probiotic. There is some thinking that if you restore the normal gut organisms with probiotics that UTIs will be less likely. It is not proven that this works with Florastor, but it should not cause UTIs and should not be harmful.
