Seriously.. I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm certain that saccromyces boulardii (found in Florastor) will stop you up bigtime... or is it just ME??
Good grief!! I was trying to add this to my diet because I feel it is the missing link in my battle against candida/yeast.
Anyone else have this trouble?
Next time you get diarrhea, TRY THIS!!!

Never did that for me, makes we wonder if you took too much in your situation ... created an imbalance of sorts?

Helps when you are on enough ABX. If you are not, it is too much.

Yes, people in our family find Saccharomyces bouldardii constipating.

I actually have been taking 3/day (15 billion/day) lately, since starting to treat parasites. I haven't taken abx in really many months, and didn't need the SacchB until I started to treat parasites. My experience (not just this one time) has been that treating parasites is another thing that prompts the need for probiotics.

Oldman.. I haven't been on abx in years... but I still have yeast.
I think I'll take 1/2 capsule every 3rd day or something. Sheesh. Or once a week?

Make sure you drink a full glass of water with the S. Boulardii to cut down on the constipating effects.
And also, might be good to take a little magnesium with it, too...

Lymetoo, have you tried drinking kombucha tea? I think it is supposed to be really good for yeast issues - even though it has a small amount of sugar and trace of alcohol.
I have just started learning how to make my own and have a batch almost ready. (easy!) I love the taste and have been enjoying a little bit of the store bought variety every evening in a wine glass. It is my treat.
Since doing this, I have not had any symptoms of yeast problems. Hope it might work for you.

I've been making my own kombucha for several months now. I LOVE it!! It really helps me stay away from sugar!
Razzle.. yep, I take tons of magnesium and drink tons of water. Having Sjogren's makes me dry.

Yeah, the kombucha rocks! Bugbit turned me onto it a while back. I wonder how she is doing (hope all is well)?
Lymetoo, s boullardi makes me itch (mushroom?).
