Ask your Neurologist about it , it does have magnesium in it , I was told by a Neurologist that if your MG is controlled magnesium won't bother you , but that was not my Neurologist that said that so I don't know.❤

Florastor is a probiotic supplement commonly used to support gut health. There isn't specific research in the search results directly linking Florastor to myasthenia gravis interactions.

That said, for anyone managing MG, it's always worth checking with your neurologist or MG specialist before adding any new supplement to your routine — even ones that seem harmless.

Here's why caution still matters:

- Some supplements can interact with MG medications like immunosuppressants or corticosteroids
- Anything that influences the immune system deserves a closer look when you have MG
- Your doctor can review your full medication and supplement list to spot any potential conflicts

Since Florastor works primarily in the gut and isn't known to stimulate the immune system the way some supplements do (like echinacea, for example), it may be considered lower risk — but your MG specialist is the best person to confirm that for your specific situation.
