Do you know about probiotics? I learned about them about a year and a half ago while I was at the pediatrician for my (then) six month old’s stomach issues. I used them off and on but forgot about them until the opportunity arose to review an item from ReNew Life. Because one of the twins was having some backup issues I decided to look for something to try from their baby line. I found just what I was looking for at their very detailed and informative site.
What are probiotics you ask? I understand them to be ‘gut friendly bacteria’. I found some good information to read up on them at WebMd. Something that I didn’t know was that they are believed to assist with some childhood ailments:
“Probiotics may also be useful in unexpected ways. A study published in 2010 suggests that probiotics may decrease the risk of common childhood problems such as ear infections, strep throat, colds, and diarrheal illness. The study included 638 children aged 3 to 6 in day care centers/schools. The children who drank a yogurt drink containing a probiotic were 19% less likely to come down with a common infection.” WebMd
I chose FloraBaby probiotics for kids (toddlers and infants). I followed the directions and gave my baby a 1/2 scoop for 5 days. We are currently at day 5 so I have not seen the effects of a full scoop yet. Considering that they are already helping I might not up it. We are doing better than we were, most definitely, so I may just keep it at a 1/2 scoop. Overall, I would recommend you look into making probiotics a part of your regimen if digestive health is something you are interested in.
My pediatrician has recommended them for my kids, but be sure to speak to your doctor if you plan to start taking them yourself or giving them to your children. They even have a line for your pet!
