Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 , Here is a link with lots of answers to what S. Boulardii is and does. http://www.giprohealth.com/sboulardii.html It is a beneficial yeast that is supposed to help get rid of Candida (much like beneficial bacteria crowd out pathogenic bacteria) and it is supposed to help properly acidify the GI tract so that pathogens can't survive there. You take it in addition to probiotics. I am wondering if some of our issues are yeast related, so I am going to try it and see if it helps. I'll let you know. Sorry I couldn't help on the constipation issue... Viadro wrote: thanks for your wonderful in-depth update, sorry to hear that your household has been sick. I have a few questions below for or others. Thanks! I did a test on the goat, and I think both myself and my son reacted to it. So I've decided to ditch all dairy except ghee for a trial period and then retry some butter and go from there. WHAT WERE THE SIGNS OF YOUR REACTIONS? THIS IS ONE OF MY BIG QUESTIONS, IS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE REACTING TO SOMETHING? My son has also recently started taking l. acidophilus and continues to take s. boulardii since he isn't getting the yogurt right now. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT S. BOULARDII IS? IT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED ON THIS LIST AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS OR WHY ONE TAKES IT IN ADDITION TO A PROBIOTIC. We continue to take therapeutic doses of Green Pasture's combo cod liver oil/butter oil. SO, IS BUTTER OIL COMPARABLE TO GHEE, IN TERMS OF BEING OKAY EVEN FOR THOSE WITH DAIRY SENSITIVITIES? I RECENTLY ADDED IT BACK IN, WANTING THE FORTIFICATION FOR MY SON'S TEETH, BUT I WASN'T SURE WHETHER IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, DAIRY-WISE... ..
