Immune Support can be given to adults and children, from 4 years onwards, with the following recommendations: Another probiotic strain that could be of note here is Lactobacillus paracasei CASEI 431®. This strain is known for its immune-modulatory properties. One 2012 study 5 showed that after just 6 weeks of intervention with this probiotic strain, study participants saw an average 37% increase in IgG production versus the placebo group, and a significant increase in sIgA over placebo. The antibody IgG protects against both viral and bacterial infections in the host. People often ask whether probiotics help with food poisoning and, in short, the answer is yes. Specific strains of good bacteria have shown to help alleviate the symptoms of many gastric illnesses including diarrhoea and reduce symptom duration by up to 24 hours.

Trillions of bacteria live inside us, predominantly in our gut, and these populationsare essential to good health. Some of these bacteria work synergistically with body systems to keep their host healthy;these 'good' bacteriaare known as ‘probiotics’. However, manyless desirablemicro-organisms may also inhabit the gut; these are known as ‘pathogens’, and can cause upset stomachs and diarrhoea, either in the form of gastro-enteritis, or on an ongoing basis such as in IBS-type symptoms. Unlike the above causes of ‘upset stomach’ IBS-D is not an infection, however in some instances it can be triggered by a GI infection, such as food poisoning. Many IBS sufferers do have dysbiotic gut flora, with a reduction in ‘friendly’ strains of bacteria, and increased levels of pathogens. Saccharomyces boulardii can still be used to excellent effect against the symptom of diarrhoea in IBS-D sufferers. Read more about dysbiosis on the Probiotics Learning Lab.
