Antibiotics can be a lifesaver, but they can also disrupt balance of good bacteria in our gut. That's why I recommend taking a probiotic, specifically one that includes a yeast called Saccharomyces boulardii. Now I know what you're probably thinking— a yeast? Yuck! Okay, but hear me out. This yeast is special because it's not affected by antibiotics, and studies show that it reduces the risk of diarrhea associated from antibiotic use. So even if your kiddo is on antibiotics, the Saccharomyces boulardii probiotic can still help protect and restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. So not only that, but Saccharomyces boulardii also helps protect the intestinal lining from harmful bacteria. It increases the production of digestive enzymes. So this helps your little one break down food better and also absorb the nutrients and stay hydrated. It's perfect. It's easy to find in powder or capsule form. It's safe for all kids of any age.
