Probiotics in Pediatric Acute Diarrhea

The most robust evidence base for probiotics exists in the treatment of acute pediatric infectious diarrhea (primarily rotavirus).

Guidelines and Efficacy

ESPGHAN guidelines strongly recommend L. rhamnosus GG and S. boulardii as adjuncts to oral rehydration solution (ORS). Clinical data consistently shows a reduction in symptom duration by approximately 1 day.
