Probiotics – Long-term use?

[Anonymous]

I started DD (14 months) on probiotics (Klaire Labs). She has multiple food allergies, reflux, etc…(on 7.5mg Prevacid once/day). We saw an amazing difference in her stools and have even been able to add oats and wheat to her very limited diet!!! (Of course it could have just been good timing, but…)

I only heard about the positive effects of probiotics on this site (thank you!!!), so I’m hoping someone can answer this question:

Should I continue using them as a daily supplement or are they similar to enzymes and only supposed to be used temporarily?

Can someone point me to some basic information on the use of probiotics for babies with these issues (a thread on this site??)

Thanks so much!

Probiotics can very safely be used long-term. In many people/children with chronic GI issues, they will have the best effect if used continuously on a daily basis.
