Michael's Notes

DiarSafe provides Saccharomyces boulardii to boost immunity and stop diarrhoea without blocking the digestive system. A'Biotica is recommended for patients taking antibiotics to maintain gut flora during and after a course of the medicine. AntiBloat includes both pre- and probiotics to tackle bloating resulting from, for example, overeating and excessive gas. It can help with bloating associated with menstruation, says Dtecta.

Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS from Jarrow Formulas, Los Angeles, CA, has been "up-formulated" to contain 5 billion organisms per capsule, up from 1.5 billion in the previous formulation. Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS helps maintain the integrity of the intestinal wall, inhibits bacterial attachment to gut epithelial cells, reduces proliferation of undesirable bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates immune receptors. The combination of Saccharomyces boulardii and MOS (mannan-oligosaccharide) provides enhanced support to the intestinal tract and assists gut immune response against undesirable bacteria. MOS directly blocks bacterial attachment to the epithelial cells of the intestine and reduces their proliferation.

Saccharomyces boulardii (SB) is a live yeast and used to treat diarrhea. Studies suggest that SB protects the gut from amebas and cholera, may keep candida from spreading, alleviates diarrhea caused by c. difficile, Crohn's disease and diarrhea of unknown cause in PWAs, and traveller's diarrhea.

How's It Work?

Tests show it may kill the bugs (bacteria, fungi, or parasites) causing infection. Theories of how it works include:

SB or something it produces may prevent gut inflammation that causes diarrhea, by interfering with how various bugs bind to gut cells

SB might increase certain protective immune proteins that in turn kill the infection-causing bugs

SB might be a superior non-toxic competitor with amebas and candida in the intestine

Medicinal effects of Saccharomyces boulardii:

Saccharomyces boulardii has beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract.

It has been long used in Europe to cure Diarrhea.

It is used in preventing and treating diarrhea caused by administration of antibiotics.

It support gut function with many conditions which includes food allergy, corhen's diseases, Candida, salmonella, travelers diarrhea and Pseudomonas.

It can be given in combination with antibiotics in the treatments of amebiasis.

It is shown to reduce the effects of toxins produced in certain diseases causing microbes like candida.

Saccharomyces boulardii is found to increase the amount of immune proteins that flight intestinal invaders.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotics & non-colonizing yeast species which is not related to the yeast group belonging to candida. Saccharomyces boulardii takes shelter in intestinal tract producing products useful for the body. It is resistant to gastric acidity and proteolysis when takes orally. Saccharomyces establish itself rapidly after administration in the gastrointestinal tract. It also controls less beneficial microorganisms.

It is popular particularly for controlling diarrhea associated with antibiotics and traveler's diarrhea. It is also recommended for diarrhea related to the inflammatory bowel condition known as Crohen's diseases.

In addition, Saccharomyces boulardii may be useful for people undergoing treatments for Candida overgrowth syndromes (COS). This is controversial condition that many nutritionally oriented doctors contend and is given little attention by conventional physicians. The ailment cause due to overabundance of the yeast Candida albicans in the gastrointestinal tract.
