S boulardii is just one strain of probiotics, there are many, many strains and each have different effects. This one is commonly used for treating and preventing diarrhoea. I'm sure if you Google it you will find lots of in depth information.

Symprove was recommended to me by a Gastro and also a friend’s Gastro recommended it to him for his collitis.

Seems like medical doctors now believe in the power of probiotics and are recommending them as there’s clinical research to prove Symprove works.

Do your research on Mastic Gum, that is supposed to kill H-Pilori.

Here’s an article by Isabella Wentz, The Thyroid Pharmacist, that tells you all about it: thyroidpharmacist.com/artic.... I used it myself based on her recommendation and found it really helpful.

It is a type of friendly yeast. It eats the bad yeast in your gut. It is derived from the mould that grows on fruit and very popular in France. It's especially good for getting rid of Candida.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a YEAST, which is a type of fungus. Saccharomyces boulardii was previously identified as a unique species of yeast, but is now believed to be a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). Saccharomyces boulardii is used as medicine.

Saccharomyces boulardii is used for treating and preventing diarrhea, including infectious types such as rotaviral diarrhea in children, diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal (GI) take-over (overgrowth) by “bad” bacteria in adults, traveler's diarrhea, and diarrhea associated with tube feedings. It is also used to prevent and treat diarrhea caused by the use of antibiotics.

Saccharomyces boulardii is also used for general digestion problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBD, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), Lyme disease, a bowel disorder called relapsing Clostridium difficile colitis, and bacterial overgrowth in short bowel syndrome.

Some people use Saccharomyces boulardii for lactose intolerance, urinary tract infections (UTIs), vaginal yeast infections, high cholesterol levels, hives, fever blisters, canker sores, and teen-age acne.

I have taken it as recommended by my pharmacist. I had C.Diff before while taking antibiotics. S. boulardi seems to have helped to avoid this issue. Of course I can not say with all certainty whether that was causation or correlation.

Then you find out that S boulardii is fairly effective against Blastocystis hominis

I have HT and I want to lower any inflammation in my body. Seems worth a try.

I only have a high school degree.

Also:

"Saccharomyces boulardii is LIKELY SAFE for most adults when taken by mouth for up to 15 months. It can cause gas in some people. Rarely, it might cause fungal infections that can spread through the bloodstream to the entire body (fungemia)."
