Can You Take Probiotics for SIBO or Not?

The research on probiotics for SIBO is clear, yet people continue to hear the message that probiotics should be avoided by those with SIBO.

So let's confirm what recent research really says. Join me.

I have what my doctor called ‘large’ SIBO (both methane and hydrogen) and I’m struggling for years. Constantly constipated, low energy, mood swings etc.Tried diets and all kinds of supplements costing me a fortune.
Three months ago I started with a big cup of kefir on an empty stomach daily. And this has made the biggest and most positive change in years. Adding this video to that makes a lot of sense and gives me the courage to further investigate pre-pro-postbiotics cause I heavily feel therein lies my answer.

This research only shows benefits for S. Boulardii, a very specific probiotic yeast. You therefore cannot generalize to ‘all probiotics are beneficial/safe for SIBO’. Many patients suffering from SIBO experience worsening of symptoms after taking multistrain probiotics consisting of bacterial species. This is likely very specific to the strains used as well as to the moment of time during treatment when it is implemented.

What about SIBO with IBS-C, not IBS-D??
