Is it possible to buy a probiotic containing Saccharomyces boulardii and bifidobacterium bacteria in a pharmacy?

If earlier the doctor ordered long-term supplementation with Saccharomyces boulardii yeast, then I do not see any contraindications.

Thank you. I have another follow-up visit to the gastroenterologist in 6 months. Can I safely use Enterol until then?

To @Izabella: I think that such an issue should be determined with the attending physician, who knows your case exactly.

Thank you for the information. How long can I use Enterol to regulate the microbiota after long-term treatment for SIBO?

For @Izabella: Long-term therapy with Enterol has not been shown to increase the risk of constipation.

Can long-term probiotic therapy with Enterol cause constipation?

For @Agnieskza: Enterol can be used interchangeably, which contains only Saccharomyces boulardii yeast, and additionally include a preparation containing the Bifidobacterium strain itself (e.g. Symbiosys Alflorex). The duration of use is best consulted with the attending physician. The manufacturer does not specify the maximum allowed duration of use of Enterol.

Thank you for your reply. However, I am looking for a probiotic that will not have the Lactobacilus strain in its composition. I must absolutely exclude this strain because of advanced SIBO. During the SIBO treatment, I took Enterol. After completing the treatment of bacterial hypertrophy, the doctor recommended me Alflorex for 1 month, and then Multilac Control. Unfortunately I can't buy it anywhere. So what probiotic should I take now if I can't take those with the Lactobacilus strain? Can I go back to the probiotic Enterol again? If so, how long can I take Enterol?

To @Agnieszka: Of the probiotics available on the market, Asecurin IB seems to have the most similar composition. It contains, as well as Multilac Control, a strain of Bifidobacterium breve BR03 and Saccharomyces boulardii and prebiotic fiber (a medium for bacteria) - in this case inulin. Unlike Multilac Control, it also contains the addition of Lactobacilli lactobacilli lactobacilli Lactobac. Asecurin IB is also intended for adults and children from 3 years of age and supports the proper functioning of the intestines.

Thank you for your reply. Is there any other probiotic with the same strain as Multilac Control?

To @Agnieszka: Multilac Control has been withdrawn from the manufacturer's portfolio. At the moment, there are no plans to re-implement its production.

Why is the Multilac Control probiotic missing in pharmacies? Is it known when it will return to pharmacies?

It may happen that preparations that are better tested may have a higher price. On the properties of BioMarine I spoke more broadly here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/10224/biomarine-czy-biomarine-pomaga-zwalczac-komorki-rakowe No, I advise against the use of two or more preparations that strengthen immunity at the same time, and if it does not manage otherwise - alternately - one day, the other the other. All in moderation - the fact that the patient will apply several preparations at once does not mean that his immunity will increase in proportion to this, and side effects may appear. Biostymine should not be used for autoimmune diseases. It is assumed that lactoferrin is allowed.

Thank you. Dear this preparation... Can this preparation be used together with Caldo Complex? For what period of time? Could you still write to me whether the drug Biostymina will be safe for autoymunological diseases? Would it be worth giving, for example, lactoferrin?

The preparation that I can recommend, for example, does not have the status of a drug, but is highly tested and safe for people with autoimmune diseases. This is BioMarine 1140: - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/11686/biomarine-1140-kapsulki/apteka-internetowa - https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/11686/biomarine-1140-kapsulki/apteki/w-polsce

Thank you. Could you recommend something to me to increase immunity for a person with an autoimunological disease? We are currently administering Caldo Complex, but has recently undergone a lot of antibiotic therapy and we would like to raise immunity a little with something with drug status. What would you recommend?

On the subject of probiotics containing Bifidobacterium, I wrote here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/67925/aliness-czy-w-aptece-mozna-kupic-probiotyk-zawierajacy-szczep-bifidobacterium-l Esberitox N cannot be used by people with autoimmune diseases. The manufacturer of the drug does not specify the size of the tablet. The packaging of the drug is glued, which prevents us - pharmacists - from opening and viewing the tablets, and therefore it is difficult for me to say whether they are easy to swallow.

Thank you. Kasia, could I ask for information whether you can buy a probiotic in the pharmacy, which will contain only the Bifidobacterium strain? It is very difficult for me to find it. I am looking for this strain for a person with SIBO. It is important that it is only this strain and nothing from Lactobacilus. I would also like to ask whether Esberitox N tablets can be used in a person with autoimmune diseases to increase immunity? If so, are the tablets large and difficult to swallow? I also found Imunofort syrup but in the leaflet of the drug I read that it can not be used for autoimunological diseases, so I think it falls off ...

At the moment I have not found a preparation with the same composition as Multilac Control, because among dietary supplements it is practically impossible to find an equivalent. Multilac Control contained Saccharomyces boulardii, Bifidobacterium breve BR03 and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) acting as a prebiotic. A preparation with a similar composition may be, for example, Asecurin IB - Lactobacillus plantarum LP01, Bifidobacterium breve BR03, Saccharomyces boulardii and inulin acting as a prebiotic. However, it should be noted that not everyone can or should take preparations with lactobacilli. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/109247/asecurin-ib-kapsulki/apteka-internetowa?pvid=262594 https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/109247/asecurin-ib-kapsulki/apteki/w-polsce

Thank you. Does Multilac Control have a replacement?

No, at the moment the Multilac Control probiotic is not available in pharmacies: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/98562/multilac-control-kapsulki/apteki/w-polsce

Is the Multilac Control probiotic available for sale in pharmacies?
