Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Alyssa.. There is debate whether probiotics, good yeasts should be on empty stomach or not. Many different schools of thought on this very subject. It's a vast ever growing/expanding subject. Anyway, I think this is another case of everyone's different! Some people find it more effective this way some find it better that way.. You need to do some testing and home experimentation.. Yes, yet another thing! For -me- when I intro a new product I usually do it with food with a semi or full belly, just to make it easier on my system. I also use about an 8th of the capsule (especially if it is probiotics.. S. Boulardii can trigger MASSIVE die off) and work it up slow and methodically. Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Does anyone understand why this happens withS. boulardi?Maybe since it's a yeast and not a bacteria, it acts differently. Like, maybe our SCD bacteria starvation isn't as effective on yeast so more stays alive?

It apparently creates a situation in which the bad bacteria are more apt to die off, and it is known to eat candida for lunch. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 So this is something that one would consider using just if you're trying to get D under control or have a problem with candida? I just wanted to clarify so that I can figure out whether or not it's something I should consider taking.

I just wanted to clarify so that I can figure out whether or not it's something I should consider taking. People with normal guts often use it that way. People with IBS/IBD have found s. boulardii helpful in keeping things on an even keel while they work on healing. It's also useful if, for some reason, you need an oral antibiotic.
