S. boulardii may help treat and prevent a number of gastrointestinal (GI) problems, including a few different forms of diarrhoea. Antibiotics prescribed for a bacterial infection in a different part of the body can disrupt the ''good bacteria'' in your gut, flushing them out of your system along with the ''bad'' ones. Usually, the diarrhoea stops after a few days, but it can lead to colitis or Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) colitis, which requires hospitalization. Studies show that taking S. boulardii alongside antibiotics can reduce the possibility of getting diarrhoea.
