A known anti-diarrheal probiotic available in Brazil goes by the name of Floratil. Have you tried it?http://www.floratitude.com.br/espaco_floratil.asp

Nanobug,Yes, there is a medication here in Brazil called Floratil. I read in the site that you pasted that the composition of Floratil is Saccharomyces boulardii-17 liofilizado. I don´t know what is this? I´ll talk to my doctor about this. Thanks for sugestion.Kathleen, what is the composition of probiotic that you is taken? How much mg of each element?Does it help on diahrrea and pain?I hope you understand my english. It´s not my native language. I have to improve this.Thanks,André

Here's additional information from the makers of the thing (Biocodex, resold by Merck in Brazil), including some cool "movies":http://florastor.com/article.asp?id=1526The video "The Whole Story" is particularly interesting (for me at least).

I was taking them in one capsule made by Safeway grocery and it was a brand called Select, but they quit carrying it. I thought it was helpful but when I tried another brand, it did not seem to be the same. Now I just do Activa yogurt. I take enough pills for other things so yogurt is more pleasing. GadJett
