A combination of Saccharomyces boulardii and two probiotic bacteria &#8211; Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum \u2013 has been shown to be very effective. [1] Incidence of traveler\u2019s diarrhea in the groups using S.Boulardi was 5-11%. [2] [3]<\/h6>\n<h6>To date the most extensive study on the positive effects of Saccharomyces on traveler\u2019s diarrhea has been carried out by Kollaritsch et al. The main conclusion \u2013 probiotics are an effective preventive treatment. If used approximately one week prior to travelling, they can reduce the risk of contracting traveler\u2019s diarrhea. One study involved 1231 Austrian tourists travelling to exotic destination. They took a dose (250 or 500 mg) of S.boulardii or a placebo over a course of three weeks. The tourists began the course of probiotics 5 days prior to travelling and continued it throughout the holiday. Traveler\u2019s diarrhea was experienced by 43% of the placebo group, but incidence was significantly less in the 250 mg S.boulardii dose group (34%) and the 500 mg group (32%).[2] Another study by Kollaritsch et al involving 1016 Austrians travelling to Northern Africa, the Middle and the Far East, subjects were given 250 mg\/d (5 \u00d7 109)\u00a0S. boulardii, 1000 mg\/d (2 \u00d7 1010)\u00a0S. boulardii\u00a0or a placebo, and they began taking the doses 5 days prior to travelling. S.boulardii significantly reduced the number of tourists who experienced traveler\u2019s diarrhea: 39% of the placebo group, but only 34% of the 250 mg S. Boulardii group and 29% or 500 mg S. Boulardii group were afflicted (P\u00a0&lt; 0.05).[3]<\/h6>\n<ol>\n<li>McFarland LV. Meta-analysis of probiotics for the prevention of traveler&#8217;s diarrhea.
