katrinab, I use Custom Probiotics (http://www.customprobiotics.com/), and they say that "One can travel with our probiotics for 2-3 weeks without refrigeration. It is best however to keep probiotics refrigerated for optimum potency."
Also, Florastor (s. boulardii) should not be refrigerated.

I like Thorne's Bacillus Coagulans and also use the Prescript Assist one. I think they have been of help with IBS -type symptoms and I especially like the former.

Primal Defense is similar to Precript Assist and needs no refrigeration. They work on a different principle than the others.
Theralac can stay out the refrigerator for a few weeks also. (as can Custom Probiotics mentioned above)
The really good probiotics require refrigeration.

Those are not high in CFU's, but I guess if we're adding those with low count, we could add Dr Ohira's and the Pearls.

Isn't that a probiotic?-

Same as 'Florastor'. I've heard and read many competing thoughts on whether or not refrigeration is advised for S.B.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
As far as refrigeration for s.boulardii, I think NO is the answer.

I've got a bottle and it says no.
Do you take probiotics once or twice a day? I'm on pretty heavy abx right now.
Posted by peonyprincess (Member # 38611) on :
I take them 3x a day, mid morning 2 hrs away from ABX, mid afternoon, 2 hrs before ABX, then 2 at night. Along with the liver supporting supplements.
Been dealing with yeast anyway...

Three times a day if you can. I usually take them twice a day. First thing in the morning and last thing at night.
