Saccharomyces boulardii reduces diarrhoea risk
Systematic review with meta-analysis: Saccharomyces boulardii in the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea.
We dove into the effectiveness of saccharomyces boulardii in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhoea through a meta-analysis of 21 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 4,800 participants.
Our findings showed that this probiotic significantly reduced the incidence of diarrhoea from 18.7% to 8.5%. Notably, in children, the risk dropped from 20.9% to 8.8%, while in adults, it decreased from 17.4% to 8.2%.
While S. boulardii also showed some benefit against Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea, this effect was primarily noted in children. Overall, we confirmed that saccharomyces boulardii offers a viable preventive measure against diarrhoea linked to antibiotic treatments.

Gut healing success

Great for restoring gut health after taking powerful hospital IV antibiotics, which resulted in persistent diarrhoea and poor digestion. My doctor advised a 6 to 12-month course to repopulate my gut with beneficial bacteria. It began to work within days, normalising my bathroom visits. It took about a year before I could stop taking the pills entirely, and now I don’t need them any longer. I keep a bottle ready for anyone in my household who might require antibiotics.
