When children get sick, they often have a difficult time communicating how they feel; it could be challenging for parents to figure out what’s wrong unless there are obvious symptoms.
Abdominal pain is a common health problem among children, which can be caused by a number of reasons such as food-related problems, gut problems, infections, surgical problems, and poisoning, according to the Better Health Channel of Victoria State Government.
Thus it can take a bit of trial and error on the parent’s part to figure out if the child’s upset stomach can be easily remedied or if they should be brought to a pediatrician.
Experts say probiotics may help ease one of the causes of children’s stomach pains—gut problems. In addition they may also help make potty training more manageable.
Probiotics contain living microorganisms that change the bacterial balance in the human body. A human digestive tract has about 100 trillion healthy bacteria. Bacteria aids in digestion and helps the body defend itself against illnesses. Probiotics add another layer of good bacteria to the body to help destroy harmful bacteria and reduce infection.
In his article on Cleveland Clinic’s Health Essentials, Dr. Kadakkal Radhakrishnan said, “Although probiotics are not a digestive cure-all, they can be highly beneficial to kids and adults.”
“In addition, probiotics may keep your children healthy by decreasing the number of bacteria in the gut that can cause infections or inflammation,” he added.
Every person needs a balance of good bacteria in the body. But this balance is easily upset by factors such as a poor diet, stress, or by taking antibiotics and other medications.
Children can get probiotics from eating yogurt and beverages that contain them. But the amount and quality of probiotics in those food and beverages may not be enough.
Erceflora Probibears helps parents supplement the probiotics in children. It’s a tummy supplement with the combined 2-in-1 PROBIO-BOOSTER of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis—good bacteria that help prevent gut problems such as diarrhea, upset stomach, and other digestive illnesses.
Lactobacillus is good bacteria that are present in a lot of food. A study shows that Lactobacillus is an effective treatment against infant colic and even helps improve immunity. Bifidobacterium, on the other hand, helps ease digestive issues such as bloating and flatulence. It also has a longer shelf life.
Erceflora ProbiBears is a delicious and healthy way to strengthen child’s tummy in yummy chewable bears. It is available at select Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, Mercury Drug, and South Star Drug branches for P540 per box of 20s.
