Hi, I bought probiotics for my children, because I have one who may have a gastro.

Thank you for your question!
Unfortunately, to this day, there is no data to show concrete benefits of probiotic supplementation in case of infection or for prevention. In addition, the products on the market may not correspond to the individual flora of each person, which is like a fingerprint.
I therefore do not recommend this type of supplement. You could try them, but don't expect miracles. Also keep in mind that probiotics can cause diarrhea in some people.
I hope that I have been of some help to you and I am available if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
