Managing Seafood and Mushroom-Triggered Diarrhea with Probiotics

The user experiences diarrhea after consuming seafood and mushrooms due to previous food poisoning. The assistant suggests specific probiotic strains like Lactobacillus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii to manage diarrhea and discusses consulting a healthcare provider before starting supplements.

  • I get bad diarrhea every time I eat seafood and mushrooms. This started happening once after food poisoning. I love those foods. Can probiotics help? If so, what specific strains?

  • Yes, certain probiotic strains can help manage diarrhea that might be triggered by food sensitivities or previous gastrointestinal disturbances12.

    Specific strains that have shown efficacy in the prevention and treatment of diarrhea include:

    1. Lactobacillus GG (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG): This strain is well-documented for its role in preventing and treating various forms of diarrhea, including traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and infectious diarrhea34.
    2. Saccharomyces boulardii: A yeast probiotic that has been shown to reduce the occurrence of diarrhea, especially in the context of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infections56.
    3. Lactobacillus reuteri: Known for its role in managing diarrhea, particularly in children but also demonstrates benefits in adults7.
    4. Bifidobacterium bifidum: This strain competes with pathogenic bacteria, preventing them from adhering to the gut lining and causing diarrhea8.

    However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have a history of food poisoning or other gastrointestinal issues.
