Re: S. boulardii side effects

[Guest guest]

Hi Holly, I recently started S.boulardii and the only symptom I

have noticed is several hours after taking it my tongue feels very odd. The top

of my tongue makes itself known – it kind of stings. I can tell something

is going on (but I don’t know what). I am assuming it’s die off. I

think I will try taking it at night before bed so I don’t have to feel

this tingling weirdness on my tongue. I take 1/day.

I am not sure what is causing your stomach ache. When I ate some

dried fruit without drinking enough water with it last week – that gave

me a stomach ache. It resolved when I drank a big glass of water.

Die off symptoms seem to be very specific for everybody – I

guess it depends on where in the body the beasties are lurking. It’s like

a giant battle is being waged within us!

Yesterday morning, I took 1/2 a capsule of s. boulardii for

the first time. The brand is Nutricology. Last night, I had a stomach ache that

was a cross between a sort sour feeling, to a sort of gnawing feeling. When I

woke up this morning, it was gone. I decided to skip taking the s. boulardii

today, but got the same stomach ache late this afternoon. It's currently gone,

but now I have this weird feeling in my noise, kind of like I caught a whiff of

ammonia.

Has anyone heard of s. boulardii causing these side effects? Or is it more

likely my body has just decided to weird out on me?

Carol,

It kind of sounds like you might have an allergy to s boulardii. Whenever

something makes your mouth feel tingly and weird, it's a possibility.

I tried taking 1/2 pill again yesterday. No stomach aches, but I'm still getting

that ammonia like smell in my nose periodically. I'll have to experiment further

to see if it's related to the s boulardii. Weirdness.

Holly, Maybe that is the smell of bacterial die off. Isn’t

ammonia a byproduct of bad bacteria? Or yeasts?

I am slowing up on the s. boulardii. I did start taking

lauricidin ¼ tsp 3x/day. It’s like putting Styrofoam on your tongue. My

tongue is still tingly at times. Weirdness indeed.

Carol,

Just a reminder not to try to many things at once. If you have a

reaction, you won't know what caused it. (It's like introducing too many

new foods at once. You don't know which one you reacted to.)

Also, be aware that although s. boulardii is a friendly yeast, it's still

a yeast, and therefore, lauricidin will kill it off. Likewise, lauricidin

will kill off the good bacteria in your yogurt or your probiotic

capsules. So they need to be taken several hours apart.
