The pediatric journal for the study comparing L.reuteri and simethicone
drops was: PEDIATRICS 2007;119;2124-e130.
"L.reuteri (the probiotic) was proven in a recent study to improve symptoms
of colic in breasfed infants within 1 week of treatment, compared with
simethicone. All mothers also avoided cow's milk in their diet."
It was a pretty significant improvement. Enough that the pediatricians in
the office I work wanted to carry it.
