I am 5 weeks pregnant and was taking boulardi as probiotic. Is that ok or I should be concerned, because it is not confirmed that is safe in pregnancy?

As you have mentioned- due to a lack of safety and efficacy studies in pregnant women, the risk to your developing foetus due to saccharomyces boulardii is not known.
