Saccharomyces boulardii lyo for Diarrhea "Made my condition small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) way worse. Somehow made the bloating and cramping and abdominal pain way worse. Also gave me shortness of breath. I think this stuff can cause inflammation in certain people. I'd advise you to avoid this if you have SIBO. Now I just have to wait for it to make its way out of my system so I can get back to feeling normal!"

Saccharomyces boulardii lyo "I had a urinalysis that was suspicious of UTI, but no typical UTI symptoms. Took antibiotics for a week. Became severely bloated after antibiotics, even though I took my usual probiotic during treatment. My doc suggested Florastor. I took it for 3 days. On the 2nd day, bloating was gone. I did not have diarrhea, but it did increase the number of bowel movements on the 2nd day. But I developed severe and lasting pelvic cramping. By the 3rd night, I woke up with painful pelvic pain. I stopped it, and the cramping stopped so far. Not sure if this was the cause. My urine culture did not reveal any significant issue, but maybe a mild infection."

For Diarrhea "I've had IBS for many years. Started on a biologic 3 months ago for inflammatory psoriatic arthritis, and I was getting terrible symptoms every few days, mimicking a bad tummy bug, but no fever. Biologics cause poor immunity against bugs, so I thought a probiotic might be a good idea with all this diarrhea. Well, a day after, I was in excruciating tummy ache, watery diarrhea for days on end, every time I ate anything, the cramps would start again. I couldn't leave the house! My rheumatologist stopped the methotrexate I was on, but it didn't make a difference. I then stopped the probiotic, and that same evening, the symptoms improved slowly, and now it's less severe. So for me, probiotics are not the answer."
