Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by uncontrolled inflammation of the intestine. Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii ), a probiotic, stabilizes the intestinal wall. This study examined the changes in the CD activity index (CDAI) after taking S. boulardii in patients with CD in clinical remission.
