Lactobacillus Reuteri, also known as L. reuteri or L. reuteri Protectis, is one of the most effective probiotics that has been discovered. Lactobacillus Reuteri is also one of the most carefully studied probiotics, with many clinical trials being performed on it all over the world. Lactobacillus reuteri has been demonstrated to help with a number of different conditions, including helping babies with colic to cry less, and helping to delay the onset of eczema in infants. Lactobacillus reuteri can even help your baby with diarrhea.

Lactobacillus reuteri can help your baby with diarrhea because of how it interacts with your baby’s digestive system. Lactobacillus reuteri is a probiotic. This means, very simply, that Lactobacillus reuteri is a live, beneficial bacteria that is commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus reuteri help to restore the balance of flora, or microorganisms, inside your baby’s digestive system. Lactobacillus and other probiotics can have many different beneficial effects on the digestive system, such as helping with digestion, helping with the absorption of minerals and other sorts of nutrients, and even helping with the synthesizing of vitamins. They also can help to create a protective barrier against harmful substances, such as bad bacteria. By providing these benefits to the digestive system, lactobacillus reuteri can help your baby with diarrhea.

In particular, probiotics such as Lactobacillus reuteri have been demonstrated to help your baby with diarrhea especially when that diarrhea has been caused by taking antibiotics. Taking antibiotics, while it is sometimes necessary to help a baby fight off an infection or illness, can also throw off the delicate balance of gut flora. This, in turn, can often cause diarrhea as a side effect of the antibiotic medication. By giving your baby lactobacillus reuteri, you are helping to restore the balance of gut flora. By doing this, you will help your baby with the diarrhea that was caused by the imbalance in his or her gut flora.
