Probiotics for kids

[Bramblesheep]

Can anyone recommend some good pleasant tasting probiotics suitable for kids?

DS has had 3 D&V bugs this winter and wondering if they might help a bit?

I like the BioGaia ones (available on Amazon). Bought them for my DD after an awful bug a few years ago, on the recommendation of a pharmacist friend, and have used them after any bug since. They seem to get her back to normal really quickly.

you know there is no evidence it will help, right? Their advertising is very persuasive but there’s a lack of evidence for probiotics benefiting the immune system, and research found that in healthy children, probiotic supplements had no effect on antibody levels, days of fever and number of infections.

I know @tobypercy but right now I'll try anything even if it has a placebo affect!

I bought some chewable ones but both kids are complaining they don't taste nice

LOL I can sympathise! Good luck!

I've been giving the kids Yakult, Actimel and kefir "milkshakes" as a treat. They seem to enjoy them...!
