I have to admit, I am SOOOO frustrated by this topic. I talked to 3 moms
yesterday about it. I do not understand why SO many bf babies have blood in
ther stool.
I am not aware of any research showing probiotics help babies in the midst
of acute intestinal distress? I am only aware of one study suggesting
probiotics may help modulate the immune system of allergic babies towards
normal over time (18 months). I tried looking at two links from the
kellymom site and they lead to nowhere.
If anyone has references for use of probiotics in infants to food
sensitivity, I would love to see them.
