I'm sorry I was so lazy- I just read all the info on S. Boulardii on GI Pro

Health (duh) and came up with the following:

-Take in between meals

-If taking anti-fungals, take 1 hour before and 2 hours after anti-fungal agent

-You can take 250-1000mg 1-4x daily

-You can take it for 3-4 weeks (some Crohn's cases have been noted where the

patients took it for 6 months with no side effects).

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Thanks, Joanna

Is it o.k to take both S.boulardi and SCdophilius. This is for my 3 yr daughter. Currently, she has loose stool, sometimes it gets darrihea.

Also you mentioned below that, if you taking antifungals, take 1 hr before and 2 hrs after. Is this true for Scdophiluis probiotic???

Is carrot Juice antifungal??? I do give her carrot juuice?? Any other???? Is Romaine lettuce juice antifungal too??

Thank you so so much

FOR RANI:

Hi! So sorry... I just saw your message. As far as I know, SCDophilus is a

probiotic, not an antifungal, so you could take it any time. Someone gave me the

advice to just open the capsule and stir it right into your yogurt! Pretty cool,

huh?

As far as the S. Bourlardi goes, the website also mentions that it is OKAY to

take it with probiotics- so it's okay to take at the same time as yogurt or the

SCDophilus.

http://www.giprohealth.com/saccharomycesboulardii.aspx

I'm not really sure, but I would guess that since Carrot and Romaine juice have

antifungal properties, you would want to follow the directions with the S.

Bourlardi so that you take it 1 hour before or 2 hours after the juice.

Kim is the real pro on this! Any advice Kim?

Thanks!!!

Hello

Any one there can advice me if Romaine Juice is antifungal. I know carrot and garlic are. Any other antifungal out there.

Thank you

I

don’t believe I’ve seen romaine mentioned as an antifungal in any

of my research. Garlic is, as are: ginger, onions, kale,

cabbage, broccoli, hot peppers, horseradish, coconut oil, caprylic acid, oil of

oregano, olive leaf extract, teatree oil, boric acid, gentian violet,

grapefruit (or citrus) seed extract.

Kale and cabbage are a slightly different plant family than

romaine, if I remember correctly. However, you could certainly add romaine into

a juice that also includes other antifungals.

Remember that antifungals can impact probiotics and the gut

ecology in a similar way as antibiotics can. So that you need to wait an

hour or two after taking an antifungal before taking a probiotic, whether L.

Acidophilus or S. Boulardii. Remember also that antifungals will impact

the digestion (because the gut ecology is affected), so you need to adjust your

food choices during the weeks you are taking an antifungal and for a few weeks

afterwards. Stick to easy-to-digest foods, in other words.
