Anybody else notice that saccharomyces boulardii/Florastor screws their stomach up big time?


This is the 3rd time I’ve tried it on a drs recommendation to fix the gut on an abx protocol and gotten explosive runs. First couple times I assumed it was coincidence or whatever else I had going on, but now it’s clear I just cant handle yet, yet it’s supposed to do the exact opposite and help w diarrhea

I haven’t had any issues with it.

You may have a lot of other fungi in your GI tract and when Florastor starts competing for resources, they other fungi die. They may release metals and toxins that you can't detoxify and that increases oxidative stress.

I've used it with no problem. It's supposed to be good at getting rid of bad yeast and preventing C-diff.

There are a few posts from a couple years ago on some not tolerating "SB" so well. Someone had an overgrowth of it as well - not common but possible.

I didnt like it and used bacterial probiotics instead. sv3 or something.....its been years now so I forgot the name.

It's interesting because I was diagnosed a few weeks ago w/ SIBO for a second time in a little over a year by hydrogen breath test. I've been taking Rifaximin for 2 weeks now and I'm finally taking normal stools. The day i started having normal stools, 3 days ago, my autoimmune SFN nerve pain also went way down. I had a very bad stomach infection and case of SIBO in March 2019 before my neuropathy began. So there does seem to be a link between my stomach and my autoimmune issues. It could be the cause of my neuropathy and autoimmunity.

I wouldnt be surprised if I had a yeast infection as well. What did you do to get yours under control if I may ask? What were your symptoms that lead you to believe it was yeast causing your problems?

without s. boulardii i wouldn't have been able to finish 9 months of antibiotics. it was godsend, kept my gut in check.

i took it in powder form, with inulin.
u sure it's causing your issues and not someth else?

Maybe it was VSL3 probiotics?

Yes, that was it. VSL3 considered one of, if not the best bacterial probiotic on the market.

I am very susceptible to gut Candida (tested pos several times) and SB seemed to create the same symptoms- very uncomfortable/ messed up gut. Stopped SB, got better.
