Re: Does it hurt to take S Boulardii if you do not know for sure that you have clostridia?

Dana,

I take it myself. I have had Clostridium Difficile in the past but have been

tested many times over the past 2-3 years and always tested negative. I have

only taken the S. boulardii in the last year. I don't think it would hurt. It is

a non-colonizing beneficial yeast and is often used for travaler's Diarrhea as

well. I go in spurts with it. I haven't taken it in a while and just started

again this week and have found it very helpful again. Not sure why.

Charlene,

Does it hurt to take S. Boulardii if you do not know for sure that you have

Clostridia but think you do?

How do you know when you need to take it. What kind of symptoms do you feel?

I started a flare up in October, had to go on prednisone and am now weaning off

the prednisone. It hard to explain but I just felt that as I weaned I needed it.

I am doing a very low honey almost no fruit version on SCD because I think my

yeast issues popped up again. I get very bloated and then my belly-button got

all infected and itchy. So on top of probiotics I decided to try the S.

Boulardii for a while.

when I started my flare before the prednisone really kicked in I was taking it

and I found it not helpful. Once the prednisone started working and I cut back

on my fructose intake, I feel that its doing something again.

Hope this helps. Sometimes for me its all about helping me just turn that next

corner into more consistent health.
