Which Neonatal Disorders Can Probiotics Help Prevent or Treat?
Probiotics have shown promise in the prevention and treatment of several neonatal disorders:
1. Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC): A serious intestinal disease affecting preterm infants. Probiotics can reduce the incidence of NEC by promoting a healthy gut microbiota. 2. Sepsis: Probiotics may help in reducing the risk of sepsis by enhancing the gut barrier and modulating the immune response. 3. Colic: Probiotics can alleviate symptoms of colic by reducing gut inflammation and improving digestion. 4. Diarrhea: Probiotics can help in managing diarrhea by restoring the balance of good bacteria in the gut.
