Since taking florastor, have had terrible sore throat, flu like symp's. could be coincidence, but could florastor cause these syms or prevent healing?

Coincidence.: Florastor is a probiotic, which usually does not have flulike symptoms as a potential side effect. Therefore, it is most likely a coincidence. At this point I would stop the Florastor temporarily, and not restart it until after your flulike symptoms have resolved. If those symptoms return after you restart it, then you may not be able to tolerate that medicine. Good luck.
