NOW Supplements, Saccharomyces Boulardii, 5 Billion CFU Probiotic, 60 Veg Capsules

I bought these under advisement from a travel person for my Thailand trip. I took these a few days before, one each day while in Thailand and now I take these everyday as they are great for my plumbing. When in Thailand I ate some incredible food in some unusual places and had no issues. However, I would drop deuces a couple times a day and not sure if it's from these pills or eating a lot of food or both, but I felt great my entire trip. I gotta believe it was because of these pills. It's been a few months since I've been back and I take one of these each day and my bowel movements have been very productive. Glad I bought these - my gut thanks you.

My primary care physician suggested this product to me. After using it for 2 months I have ordered more and will continue to use it. Excellent results.

It is the best probiotic out there tried them all and I feel the price is great!

I purchased the Now Foods Saccharomyces Boulardii pills to attempt to help my chronic stomach issues. The pills are about average size for this type of product and are easy to swallow. The pills are vegetarian so that is great since many pills use a gelatin which is not vegetarian. I’ve noticed my stomach hasn’t been acting up as much as normal, but it definitely isn’t completely fixed by this. The instructions say to take approximately 6 a day, which I haven’t yet reached that number so maybe upon increasing my intake, I’ll have a normal stomach. If that happens, I’ll update the post. In general, I’m happy to take these since they do seem to help a little bit, and honestly, anything is better than nothing. These are a pretty good value – you get 60 in the bottle and depending on how frequently you take them, it will last about a half month to a month. I did not experience any negative side effects while taking this, so that’s a definite plus.Pros:- Easy to take- Vegetarian pill- Helps a bitCons:- Wish that it helped a bit moreAll in all, I’m pleased with this purchase to help with my stomach issues and I will purchase again.

This stuff is the most powerful substance I have found in the last 10 years suffering with UC, to fight against bad bacteria, ulcers, discomfort, any stomach ailment. I will tell you that I have purchased over 100 thousand dollars in supplements in the last ten years. This one has the single most powerful effect. It has replaced absolutely everything. It works better than any antibiotic given for stomach bugs, C-diff, UC, Chron's, you name it. This stuff somehow provides an environment where you can heal from ulcers. Please just try it. If you are suffering, and you don't know what to do, try this. Take one 3 times a day, if that doesn't help, take 2 caplets 3 times per day. For very severe discomfort, ulcers, and or pain, take 3 caplets 3 times per day. I am at the point where my ulcers heal within one day, if I start with 2 in the morning, and take one at lunch, and dinner, and sometimes bed time. I will take it the rest of my life. When I stop, ulcers start forming within 24-48 hours. When I start, they go away within 24-48 hours. For a full year, it has manage full blown uncontrollable UC in a way that no other substance, or drug has ever even approached. It is in a league of its own. Try it, please. I can't live without it. Combine it with Soil based probiotics, and you can almost feel completely healed and normal. But this for recovery, remission, and maintenance is essential.

I read on some travel blogs that these capsules were great for preventing travelers sickness, especially in countries across Southeast Asia where visitors can't drink the water and eating too much street food is ill advised.I took one capsule a day for 3 days prior to my trip, and at least one capsule every day (taking an additional capsule before or after eating "street food", or otherwise meals that were not served at my hotel).I traveled to five countries across Southeast Asia and made it home safely without experiencing "Bali Belly", "Bangkok Belly", "Singapore Stomachache" or any of the other catchy names for gastrointestinal woes that I was warned about before my trip.In addition to exercising discernment in what you eat while traveling, as well as avoiding tap water (even for brushing your teeth) when traveling abroad, these probiotic capsules are great in helping to prevent or mitigate "travelers illness".

Edit: I had these work well for stopping diarrhea. But then soon after they worked for that I had a bathroom issue I've never experienced before. I've never had constipation before, but this was much more than that. It wasn't good.So I suggest going very slowly with these at first and not overdoing it. Try less than a full dose for the first few days to see how you react is my suggestion. I wish someone had told me that.I've had killer gastritis for six weeks. I started taking this two days ago, three capsules a day. Last night I was seriously thinking I was dying from stomach pain, intestinal pain, chronic diarrhea for this entire time. I felt that I was truly ill enough to die. I was weak, in horrible pain to the point I was crying. I took two or three of these, I don't remember exactly.Today the pain has been gone. It still feels not quite right in my intestines, slightly crampy but not like it has been.The major stomach pain has been gone all day. It's now evening and even though I've been eating, the stomach pain hasn't returned. This is the first time in six weeks the pain has been gone. And I've only had one trip to the bathroom. This is a major improvement.I will take four a day tomorrow and for at least the next two weeks and have high hopes that this will cure whatever it was that caused this. I'm fearful of stopping this.I'm also taking a NOW Allibiotic capsule every day which also seems to help a little.I've been totally housebound since this started. I think I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
