Florastor S. Boulardii legal?

[Guest guest]

Here's what it says on the label:

Serving Size 1 capsule

Lyophilized Saccharomyces boulardii

250 mg

Over 5 billion live freeze dried cells per capsule.

Other ingredients: lactose, magnesium stearate, hydroxypropyl

methylcellulose, titanium dioxide.

A more informed doctor prescribed this for my son while he's here at

the children's hospital for a flare. He took one last night and he

seems to be doing OK with it. The doctor's advice was one 250mg

capsule per day. I like that I'd be able to just pick up this

Florastor at a store in town instead of having to mail order, but

thought I'd better check it out with all you wonderful experts.

Thanks in advance!
