Florastor on an Candida diet?

Florestor is a yeast, but it's Saccharomyces boulardii- one that will help with clear the candida and will protect your intestines from C-diff infections. It's actually a very good probiotic.

Usually if we have been diagnosed with Candida during Lyme treatments, it takes more than food to clear it, due to the heavy doses of antibacterial products we use (herb or pharma).

For anyone dealing with a more severe yeast/fungal infection, please see the very last post in the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the forum, by Pirouette. Very informative and helpful!!!

Does it have that FOS?

Everybody's different, but I know that stuff really screwed me up. One could argue "herx" or die off from the probiotic interacting with the y/f overgrowth, but it did not feel that way to me. I could very well be wrong in doing so, but I tend to go with my initial impression when I'm dealing with reactions to things.

If it pushes me to worry, anxiety, and/or causes very unsettling symptoms, it's bad.

Other things, they'll provoke responses that are similar to those (anxiety, unpleasant symptoms are a part of herxing), but there's always a sense of peace, safety hiding beneath them, because something in me knows that they are working for the better.

It sounds crazy, I know, but I listen to it.

Anyway, yeah, those FOS, I stay away from them.

As for the "good" yeasts when dealing with y/f, I don't know many others, apart from S. Boulardii.

Though, the Garden of Life Ultimate Care probiotic I am using has a couple others in it. I haven't been having any trouble, at least none that I can tell. I just started using it again though, so I am gonna have to see.

Saccharomyces unisporus, Saccharomyces turicensis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharmomyces exiguus

I think that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is Brewer's yeast. I remember looking it up after I found it was in another supplement I was interested in. I think they're all related though (obviously, maybe), so.. I don't know.

This requires research, which I am not up to..

ABORT MISSION!
