I have been drinking sea salt in my water per doctors recommendations, and have heard that it also destroys pathogens and other organisms.
Does anyone know if it also destroys yeast? The reason for asking is that I am getting ready to start Saccharomyces Boulardii on a daily basis and wanted to know if sea salt would affect it.
Thanks for your help.

uh, i'm not sure about drinking salt water. are you doing the salt/c combo?
cause otherwise just putting salt in your water might be harmful.
i don't know, but others might.

I don't know about salt water. Kombucha does and has lots of good bacteria, including saccharomyces. Fermented foods also contain good bacteria (raw sauerkraut) .... as does kefir. Keeping the bacteria count high will counteract the yeast.

Not sure, but you might want to join lymestrategies and ask. There are some people there that might know because they are doing the salt/c protocol.
I think I read on lymephotos that it does kill candida,

Currently doing salt water for POTS. 1/4 tsp sea salt in 32 ounces of water as recommended by doctor. Not doing Salt/C at this time.
I have also been taking Theralac -- 3x a day (90 billion cfu). Today have started Saccharomyces Boulardii 3x a day as I would like to protect against C. Diff.
The reason for asking is that my LLMD doubled the dose of my Omnicef and my intestines have on fire to the point I slept with an icepack on my abs, and have had diarrhea many times a day since last Friday. Had to stop all antibiotics, and am waiting for a call back from LLMD.
Just did not want to be counter productive taking Saccharomyces Boulardii if the salt water would destroy it.
I am just really needing help and prayer as my intestines are having problems and now liver enzymes elevated.
If anyone else has information about SB and salt water, I welcome your comments. I have learned so much from everyone and am thankful for this forum.

Be careful not to ingest too much salt. In the meantime, avoid sugar and low carb foods.

My LLMD also has me drink salt water daily. It is mainly for helping with circulation. It is sea salt, not table salt.

One of my holistic docs a year ago recommended I drink 1.5 tsp of sea salt daily.

quote: The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating a multitude of organs and functions throughout the body.
Some of these functions include temperature, respiration, pupil dilation and constriction, salivation and the digestive tract.
A patient experiencing ANS dysregulation may experience abnormalities in the many organs and functions the ANS regulates.
For example, around one third to one half of POTS patients have digestive troubles (Fischer, 2007).
The problem is that blood flow is not matching the need, so blood is not going to the right part of the intestinal system when it needs to.
As a result, these people have trouble with nausea.
For a smaller percentage of patients, the trouble is that there is too much blood in parts of the intestines.
The body is attempting to digest food when there is no food to digest.
This leads to cramping and colicky-like pains (Fischer, 2007).
Perhaps that may be the cause of what you are experiencing. Could it be that a Herheimer reaction is causing an exacerbation of your POTS?
Do you need to take Theralac 3x/day? I thought that one was taken less often.
Possibly Sx are from POTS & that's why no relief from probiotics.
Hope you feel better quickly!
