Role of Probiotics in the Treatment and Prevention of Common Gastrointestinal Conditions in Children

Hojsak I, Kolaček S. Role of Probiotics in the Treatment and Prevention of Common Gastrointestinal Conditions in Children. Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr. 2024 Jan;27(1):1-14. https://doi.org/10.5223/pghn.2024.27.1.1

Abstract

Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts. Although recommendations for probiotic use should be strain-specific, many systematic reviews, including recommendations from different societies, recommend probiotic use in general, providing no relevant information for healthcare professionals regarding which probiotic to recommend for which clinical indication, at what dose, and for how long. This narrative review aimed to present the available evidence on the use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of common gastrointestinal diseases in children, considering the strain and dose used. Furthermore, this study summarizes the evidence on the possible side effects and quality of products containing probiotics.
