Saccharomyces boulardii is a health-promoting, probiotic yeast, that helps prevent an overabundance of other bad yeast and fungi in the gut, like Candida albicans.
S. boulardii is also helpful in management of IBS symptoms, treating acute diarrhea, preventing and treating parasite infections, preventing C. diff infection, and preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea. It helps improve the integrity of the intestinal lining, which can reduce inflammation and help to heal leaky gut.
Yeast love sugar, carbs, and alcohol in the diet. Yeast overgrowth is often a sign of imbalance in the gut microbiome. If you have uncontrolled sugar cravings, it could be a sign of yeast overgrowth since our microbiomes often influence our food cravings.
Symptoms of yeast overgrowth include recurrent vaginal yeast infections, skin rashes like tinea versicolor (lightened round patches on the skin), or toenail fungus. SIFO stands for Small Intestine Fungal Overgrowth; a condition similar to SIBO, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.
For patients suffering from recurrent yeast infections, taking S. boulardii may be helpful in improving the gut microbiome balance, and preventing overgrowth of bad fungi or yeast in the body.
S. boulardii is also helpful for those suffering from Histamine Intolerance.
