I'm so glad Dr. Ruscio mentioned that too, as I have been recommended S Boulardi by my consultant and I was anxious it could make my constipation worse.
I was given four different types of antibiotics because doctors couldn’t figure out what was going on with me. They kept saying it was a UTI but after treatment, I still had symptoms. After the treatment, I started experiencing vaginal pain. I believe the antibiotics wiped out my good vaginal bacteria. I thought it might have been vaginal atrophy and I was entering menopause but nothing helped it. I started taking SB and probiotics. Instant relief and the pain I was experiencing went away. I’m no longer having the urgency to pee or aching I would get. I’m so glad I chose to take these probiotics.
Thank you. Probiotics are so confusing -. I’m 60 and I’ve taken everything - function doc started this 2 mos ago - game changer. Also - it repopulates everyday - so - easy to control.
Dr Ruscio, thank you so much for this info’s, my doctor prescribe me the boulardii for SIBO, diarrhea, Hpylori and Candida, seems this probiotic it’s very secure, lot of benefits and versatility 🙏 well done 👏
Hello, congratulations on your testimony. please can you help a sister out. With all this symptoms. Did you experience bad breath and body odor?. And when taking this probiotics. Did it help. Am suffering from halitosis and am very sad. Praying all goes well for you. Thank you
@@teklasmom4156this might sound a little extreme but when I eat a carnivore diet I have zero body odor and bad breath. It might be worth it for you to try a carnivore elimination diet to find out if it's certain foods causing the issue. Some people don't tolerate certain plant foods very well.
Thanks for the video! I have just tried the saccharomyces boulardii for a week (have been struggling for years with SIBO) as per my nutritionist’s suggestion and it was great, a lot less bloated and nothing of that sensation of "full stomach" after meals. I don't eat dairy now for years (which helped me a lot) and had reduced a lot the sugar intake for about a month or two now (which instantaneously stopped the pain and several bloating I’d been suffering) and taking the S.B. reduced even more the leftover abdominal distension I still have. I stopped taking it now, after a week, and already feel the difference, so will go back to taking it for 2-3 months as you recommend (also in a higher dosis, as I took 250mg per day). Will watch the other videos of yours for other SIBO probiotics and maybe try others after this period. Many many thanks!
Honestly, I have taken s. Boulardii for years because I have had diarrhea for years. I always take it a couple of days and then skip 2 or 3 b/c I believed it was giving me constipation. You say that is not the case, so I'm going to take it every day. Maybe I've just been scared it was stopping me b/c it stops the diarrhea so quickly. I need to adjust my diet as well. Thank you, Dr.❣
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It’s so hard to find someone with such well rounded knowledge and willing to suggest more than just Rx. I was just prescribed Xifaxin and asked about probiotics and was not encouraged by dr or pharmacist, but I’m going Monday to get them before starting treatment! I was also diagnosed with gastroparesis, so maybe this will help a bit with that too! I’m already on low Fodmap and IBS diet. I have about 10 more diagnosis and am being sent to neurologist for vagus nerve testing next. Maybe I can relieve some symptoms and avoid that one! Thank you sincerely, from your new subscriber!
I tried out S. Boulardii because it was written in my comprehensive stool test report as a possible cure for the extremely low Secretory IgA I was diagnosed with. I felt better right after trying it and then continued with it. I was borderline SIBO, as per the breath test report.
Fair question. And no. That's a common misconception. I have a couple videos about this but I'll link one here for you that I think goes into this pretty well: ruclips.net/video/JKUk5Vc1Lxw/видео.html
Hi Dr Rusico do you have any advice on what probiotic to take for a biofilm infection? It’s in my throat lots of mucus and bacteria, and it’s getting worse. Is this probiotic a good one for this, as I also have heard that certain biofilm turn the good bacteria to bad bacteria? Thank you in advance! 💯
I am neither constipated nor have I had diarrhea S. Bouldardi for 2 months has greatly reduced my bloat along with the pain that comes with it. I began taking it orally. For the past 3 weeks I have been making a fizzy apple cider drink that gets more of this bacteria into me taking 3 oz morning and B/4 bed. Wow what a difference. Would like to make a similar drink with other strains. Would that work in similar fashion?
Dr. Ruscio recommend probiotics in a lot of his video but failed to mention the strain. Saccharomyces boulardii in the study is 1-745. A lot of Saccharomyces boulardii sold are not 1-745. So other strain may not work the same. Another one would L.rhamnosus GG.
Hello. You are correct that the strain is very important. I do talk about strains in many episodes but for a quicker review here are the strains I mainly recommend. store.drruscio.com/search?q=probiotic
I had a serious stomach infection,i have been on antibiotics 10days, lots on gut gas diarrhea, i was taking Align probiotic every other day, now my med is done, i moving to Saccharomyces tonight, hope it helps , Dr am i safe to use this yiest ,and continue to use regular pro biotics ? Does one or the other effect eaxh other ?? Thank you
PLEASE I am 70 and I have been fighting BOTH kinds of Microscopic Colitis for over 20 years, though it took a long time for them to clue into doing biopsies to get an actual diagnosis. None of the Gastroenterology solutions have ever worked. I'm a prisoner in my house. Can you do some videos on this problem?
I'm so sorry to hear about your health struggles. I'm definitely taking note of your request. I also want you to know that you are welcome to work with us at the clinic (which can be done online). ruscioinstitute.com/become-a-patient/. We'd be happy to have you.
I started taking this (florastor) to see if it helped with a potential SIBO diagnoses and IBD - I’ve taken it for like 5 days now and it’s caused some more weird lower abdominal pain (already had abdominal pain after eating literally anything) and flatulence. Could it be the bad bacteria dying off?
I can't really say as each person is unique in that sense. (Sometimes it's die-off, sometimes it's not the right probiotic.) However, if you continue to have discomfort you might want to lay off or talk to your doctor. I'll attach a couple articles here about probiotics for SIBO and IBD though, hopefully they can help: drruscio.com/sibo-probiotics/ drruscio.com/probiotics-for-stomach/ drruscio.com/probiotics-for-gut-health/
S.Boulardi is preferred over Antibiotic treatment for SIBO? I have a very difficult time finding natural supplements that are palm oil free, which I require, so I’m considering the antibiotic treatment. I’m still interested in the natural approach. Thanks!😊
I have been taking a lactobif with 15 billion. Recently started adding s. Boullardii but it's causing a little constipation. How do I overcome this. Prior to this taking the lactobif blend on its own was causing large bowel movements
does it help with SIFO? trying to look up the answer online the information is not readily available and what little there is suggest that it cannot help with candidiasis of the gut, specifically concerning the biofilm. I would love to know if you are aware of what help it could possibly be in this case with Candidiasis and biofilm.
Merhaba turkiyeden yaziyorum dilinizi bilmiyorum 5 yasinda oglum 3 yildir sibo ile ugrasiyor rifaksinim.3 defa kullandi duzeliyor kisa surede geri geliyor hep fodmap diyeti cok uzgunum s boulardi burdan hangi marka kulalnabilirim
I have been taking s boulardi for a long time ( about a year) . It's excellent in stopping my ibs diarreha. But when I stop this, the loose motion relapses. Does it mean I have to take s boulardi forever? If so, is it all right to take it forever?
I read in a book which I can not now find that SB can increase something in the gut of people with psoriasis that is low,I don’t know what that is without finding the npbook again lol. Any idea?
Thank you for the very valuable information! Great video, as always! I'd like to give the Saccharomyces boulardii a try. However, I can not get my hands on "CNCM I745", only on e.g. "DBVPG-6763". How important do you think is getting the exact same type as presented in the studies? Will results vary?
Great video can this help with an autoimmune dease in your opinion? I eat a whole foods diet with very little proceeds foods because I knw they have chemicals
Great video but wondering what kind of "turbulent symptoms" might be seen when first taking it? I don't relish having MORE bloating, reflux, constipation at this point. I did hear what you said about it being regulating re: bowel movements and not unidirectional. I take l.reuteri without any problem. Should this be any different if I switch?
I am taking this as part of the gut healing probiotic using the protocol you recommended. I have had two diverticular haemmhorages in the past and saw on another video that SB has been associated with haemmorhage in rare cases. ( see Dr Jin Sung video on SB ) ...is this safe for me to take ? I have been healing my gut for over a year and everything has vastly improved.. Thank you
I took s boulardii for a month and it didn’t help me at all my symptoms are the same no improvement I think probiotics should be taken after clearing sibo
I think they're an important part of an overall protocol. If you use probiotics without a healthy foundation, then yeah, they aren't going to be as effective as they could be. I'll link an article that talks about probiotics for SIBO and other strategies that help SIBO. drruscio.com/sibo-probiotics/ Hope that helps!
Great question! Every person is going to have different needs. To make sure you know what's right for you, ask your doctor or reach out to us at the clinic! drruscio.com/virtual-clinic/
It depends on the person. Both are supported in the literature for methane SIBO. It might take some trial or simply choosing the one that looks best to you!
Good question. No, it isn't. There's the common misconception that if it's good for diarrhea it must be bad for constipation, but probiotics balance the gut. So it's beneficial for both.
I cleared my psoriasis in about 2015 after suffering for about 20 years of my life!! I had it baddd too, anytime now if i get a small flare they are my go too

Transient. It leaves the body three days later. That's why I take it every three days and not daily.
