We looked into how probiotics, like Saccharomyces boulardii, can help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in children. Involving 23 studies with nearly 4,000 participants, our findings indicate a significant benefit from probiotics, with AAD occurring in 8% of the probiotic group versus 19% in the control group.
It appears that probiotics, particularly certain strains, can help keep children's gut health intact during antibiotic treatments. While no serious side effects were recorded, some mild issues like bloating were noted. Overall, moderate evidence supports using these probiotics to ward off AAD.

Probiotics significantly reduce bloatingProbiotic Supplementation With Saccharomyces boulardii and Enterococcus faecium Improves Gastric Pain and Bloating in Airline Pilots With Chronic Non-atrophic Gastritis: An Open-Label Study.
Study shows probiotics' benefits.
We explored the effectiveness of the probiotic supplement Saccharomyces boulardii in reducing bloating and gastric pain among airline pilots suffering from chronic non-atrophic gastritis.
Over four weeks, participants were divided into groups receiving different doses of the probiotic or undergoing watchful waiting.
The results showed that both probiotic doses significantly improved symptoms compared to the control group, but only the high-dose led to notable changes in certain serum markers.
Overall, this suggests that Saccharomyces boulardii could help ease bloating and gastric discomfort in situations where these issues are common.

In this clinical trial, we evaluated the impact of Saccharomyces boulardii on patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) related to systemic sclerosis (SSc).
We examined the effects of S. boulardii alone, with metronidazole, or in combination for two months.
Results showed that both S. boulardii and the combination treatment significantly reduced gastrointestinal symptoms, including bloating, while metronidazole alone had limited success.
Overall, S. boulardii proves beneficial, giving hope to those suffering from related discomfort.

We examined a case involving a 41-year-old man who suffered from cramps, bloating, and watery diarrhea after drinking non-potable water. While initial tests ruled out gluten intolerance and other infectious agents, a deeper analysis eventually identified the presence of Blastocystis hominis. This protozoan is known to be associated with chronic intestinal issues and can be waterborne. Remarkably, treatment with the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii seemed to effectively resolve the infection. This suggests that Saccharomyces boulardii might offer a beneficial approach for managing similar cases.

We explored how probiotics might help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in children. By analyzing 23 studies involving almost 4,000 young participants, we found that probiotics significantly reduced AAD incidence compared to placebo or no treatment.
Specifically, AAD occurred in 8% of children receiving probiotics versus 19% in the control groups. We noted that Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Saccharomyces boulardii were among the most effective strains.
While adverse events were mild and rare, further research is needed regarding other probiotic strains, especially for at-risk children.

I used to use Florastor, which was expensive, but researched to find similar strains. This brand has significantly assisted me with bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort from Crohn's Disease. I take two daily, and it’s the best supplement ever!
A NP recommended this probiotic for digestion and bloating issues. It’s been amazing. It doesn't cause stomach pain and doesn't require refrigeration. My NP takes it herself and suggested it to me due to our shared health concerns.
Saccharomyces Boulardii was highly recommended to me, and it definitely works. After two weeks, I noticed significant improvements—my bloating after meals ceased, and the discomfort and gases disappeared. I take two capsules before bed, and I feel much better overall. This product is essential for anyone dealing with gastrointestinal issues. Highly recommend!

After suffering from rotavirus, I started taking Boulardi sugaryomycetes, and they dramatically improved my digestion and bowel function within days. They are also invaluable when taking antibiotics and for maintaining intestinal health.
I love these Saccharomyces Boulardii; they eliminate bloating and provide a sense of lightness. I often take them before bed and give them to my children during travel. Highly recommend!
