Best Supplement for Anxiety: Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS - 5 Billion CFU Per Serving - Probiotics + Prebiotic Supplement - Intestinal Tract Support - 180 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

MUST HAVE!!!

After much research, I learned that the stomach problems I have experienced for MUCH too long were most likely due to a case of Clostridium Difficile. The condition is caused by an extreme overgrowth of Clostridium bacteria in the lower intestine. This overgrowth is generally brought on by a lack of other naturally-occurring, beneficial bacteria in the intestines, which are necessary for normal bowel function. This lack can be caused by anything from a pre-existing illness to a microbial exposure to high stress, but it is usually the result of having taken antibiotics. Simply put, antibiotics kill bacteria no matter if that bacteria is "bad" or "good". There certainly are times in our lives when we may need to take antibiotics for one reason or another, so afterward, the intestines must be replenished with their normal level of beneficial bacteria. Oftentimes the intestines do this job on their own. Sometimes they don't, and Clostridium bacteria can over-produce. That is how the problem begins. As Clostridium Difficile flourishes, it produces toxins that are released through the digestive tract. The result is progressively worsening irregularity with any combination of abdominal cramping, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and/or vomiting. The hallmark sign of Clostridium Difficile is particularly foul-smelling gas flatulence, which reeks with the odor of sulphur, rotten eggs and ammonia. This gas is constant, virtually uncontrollable and actually feels HOT when it is expelled. It can oftentimes cause irritation by itself and is extremely embarrassing, because it is so frequent, impossible to stop, nasty-smelling and sometimes accompanied by "leakage". An overgrowth of Clostridium bacteria can be difficult to correct, because it will form spores that attach themselves to the lining of the intestines. These spores are a cunning defense mechanism. . .they encapsulate and protect the Clostridium bacteria so it can survive an antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile! But this is where Sacharomyces Boulardii really does its job. It not only helps kill off unnecessary microbes in the intestines, but it also keeps them from attaching to the lining! If you think you may have a case of Clostridium Difficile, please do your own research to learn the best way to combat it, and be sure to consult your doctor. ;) To say the least, I have found Sacharomyces Boulardii to be a VERY "friendly" bacteria that is vital in the correction of Clostridium Difficile. I take one at the crack of dawn every morning (on an empty stomach is best) with a full glass of water along with my other regular probiotics (Vitacost 15 - 35) and my multivitamin. I try to avoid eating anything for at least an hour afterward, which helps ensure good absorption (avoiding stomach acid). I do try to take Sacharomyces Boulardii and my other regular probiotics anytime that I am on antibiotics. . .though they need to be taken a couple of hours beforehand or afterward to keep the antibiotics from killing them. But I ALWAYS take them for at least a couple of months beyond my having been on antibiotics. Also, Sacharomyces Boulardii is highly beneficial for other issues. . .even maintaining a clearer complexion! I will never be without it. P.S. To help keep it active for as long as possible, go ahead and store it in the refrigerator. ;

Jarrow Formulas Sacharomyces Boulardii & MOS, 90 Capsules When I was last experiencing an 'Episode of Candidiasis', I saw this Product advertised on 'Amazon.com', & read from the Description of how it 'Worked', & it just so 'Cogent & Intelligent' without being 'Over your Head', that I ordered then a 90 Capsule Bottle. It worked as it was written,but as I had been taking 'Other types of Probiotics', I was a bit wary of 'Attributing' my 'Recovery' from that 'Episode' of the 'Accursed Candida Albicans',to solely be the Result of the 'Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii MOS'. I have felt, & perhaps 'Concluded', that the 'Essential Understanding of Our Gut Chemistry', is no longer a part of our 'Family Physician's' Need to know, kind of thing, & they now rely on the Drug-Detail Folk, to Inform Them on the 'Products' (DRUGS) that They 'Peddle'. One thing for sure,no Gastroenterologist is going to ever 'Admit' that it is the Injudicious use of 'Antibiotics' that is the MAIN REASON FOR THE IMBALANCING OF OUR GUT FLORA. So here is the TODAY REALITY, CANDIDIASIS will have to be 'Treated & Overcome' without the help of the so-called 'Formal Medical Community'. When it was the 'Women' mainly complaining about 'Their Yeast Problems of their Vagina' they, the Formal Medical Community, would give them an 'Anti-Fungal', like Diflucan, (Fluconazole)because it is Mfg. by 'Pfizer', so it's 'Cool'to be 'Prescribed' by the Attending Doctor. However, when the 'Candida', now being well understood,to be an 'Opportunistic Pathogen',has 'Migrated' to a Females Intestines, the 'Standard Response' was until very recently,It was ALL in their HEAD!!! The same Pathogen, but because no Drug Salesperson, has said anything about prescribing it, (such as perhaps Diflucan) for an 'Intestinal Problem'. Because I'm a Male person, when my 'Stool Test', showed-up with the presence of Candida Albicans, the first time I was experiencing a 'Gut Problem', the 'Diflucan', or the 'Woman Pill' was seen as the sensible thing to do, so the Diflucan was Prescribed for me. However, a couple of years later, about 2003, I started to experience some Stomach Problems, which shortly after my first noticing, it seemed it was the 'Candidasis' all over again. However, this time the 'Stool Test' came back with a 'Giardia' problem,so it was not perceived to have been a 'Candida'problem, so I was pretty much left to take-up & study my own 'Gut Chemistry' & how to Deal with it on my own. I am just going to make a very SERIOUS Observation here, & that is that after you may feel 'Recovered' from a Candidiasis Episode, the Candida does not just Disappear into nothing, because it certainly does not, & what it does is to 'Hibernate', & await when some 'Organ' may be under some stress, or you take some course of Antibiotics, & there is the 'Open House' invitation, for the Candida to 'Proliferate'& then simply just take-over your Digestive System. So, if anyone bothers to Read my 'Epistle' here, will get a very, very Good Grasp of what you have presented here, by way of explanation of the 'Workings' of Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii MOS

which has changed my condition permanently for the better. No more food allergies to anything

Had IBS for nearly a decade after trip to Mexico. Did colonoscopies/endoscopies, tried various antibiotics, herbal remedies, biofeedback, yoga, stress management. Everything worked for a short period, then back to SOS. Had some success with raw honey, cutting out all sugar, starchy vegetables, and using clarified butter (is antibiotic). What really helped was being on Metagenics Bactin AR/BR for nearly a 1.5 months to fight SIBO (medically tested for SIBO), which got rid of my food allergies, followed by this product here. Look at CDC.gov or just google search bunch of studies on Saacharomyces Boulardi, and all recommend it as a defense against unhealthy bacterial overgrowth, protection for lining of the GI track, and protection for vulnerability to bacterial organisms in the gut. A diet of buttermilk and brewer's yeast, which is what Saccharocyes is derived from, are known to have cured bleeding uclers, according to an old classic by an MD "Food is Your Best Medicine." This might also work in healing ulcers and ridding the gut of the h. pylori bacteria

Colitis & C. Diff

This product has changed my life. After years of suffering from Colitis I (at a very young age) I ended up with C. Diff. I didn't think things could get any worse. I was constently going to the bathroom sometimes 10 times a day. I developed an Anxiety and quit going out to eat or out with friends. After researching both conditions I came across a lot of reviews about S. Boulardii and how wonderful it was. I added it to the probiotic regiman that I had been taking for years and noticed a huge difference within a few days. I no longer have to worry about where the nearest restroom is and my Anxiety is almost gone. After living so long with so many GI issues, I can honestly say that this is the best thing I've ever taken, including prescribed meds

Very effective against Potentially Fatal Colitis

If you're taking antibiotics you're at high risk for getting C. Diff type of infection and it can be very serious and lethal. This Saccharomyces Boulardii really works and probably any other brand too. I take three different brands, but it stops antibiotic associated diarrhea, better than even the acidophilus and miscellaneous strains of probiotics I tried, although I recommend those as well. But I suspect Saccharomyces Boulardii is not killed by the antibiotic as other probiotics are, but I'm not sure about that. If you come down with diarrhea, in a pinch, you could also put some bakers yeast in a cup of water and drink that. It seems to work too. Drinking yeast water sometimes reminds me of a beer. It's possible that yeast might generate a small amount of alcohol, but I'm not sure. I can not stress enough that C. Diff. can be lethal so be prepared
