My Goddaughter has been going through troubles with her digestion or lack thereof. She is very young and it has been a difficult time for her in coping with the pain associated in both being constipated and than trying to relieve herself.
Both her Mom and I have experienced similar troubles and so we hate that it has somehow jumped onto her when she only just turned three.
So I have been trying to keep up with research related to these issues in children and today I came across a helpful article.
"Probiotics are good for kids too, say experts at Harvard Medical School's Division of Nutrition. To date, probiotic supplements have been recommended as an aid to various intestinal disorders, but not solely as a means of preventive maintenance to digestive health."
I think it is important to note that the use of probiotics is valuable for digestional health whether related to constipation or an overactive system which would lead to diarrhea and in worst cases also dehydration.
Recent studies conducted on daycare children using Nature's Way Primadophilus indicate the potential for a lower incidence of fever, flu and the common cold, highly contagious viruses kids love to bring home to their families.
Probiotics (which is health bacteria) can help with such a wide range of things that it is beneficial for everyone to make sure they get enough. It can help with digestive issues but can also help with urinary tract infections, yeast infections and even bad breath.
It's worth a try, right? The least invasive and most natural ways of helping children are often the best way to go.
