What role do probiotics play in pediatric digestive health?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can support gut health by maintaining a balanced intestinal microbiota. They may help in preventing and treating conditions such as diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and even some allergic conditions. Probiotics can be introduced through certain foods like yogurt or via supplements, but it is essential to consult a pediatrician before starting any probiotic regimen.
