Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi Sheri, I have had great success with Culturelle. It's a little more expensive than others, but lots of studies done on it. Check out the site. Also, a new update on probiotics and diarrhea in The Cochrane Library below. hth, http://www.culturelle.com/ From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2004. Chichester, UK: Wiley & Sons, Ltd. All rights reserved. Probiotics for treating infectious diarrhoea (Cochrane Review) SJ, Okoko B, ez E, Gregorio G, Dans LF ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 20 June 2003. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Probiotics are microbial cell preparations or components of microbial cells that have a beneficial effect on the health and well being of the host. Probiotics may offer a safe intervention in acute infectious diarrhoea to reduce the duration and severity of the illness. Objectives: To assess the effects of probiotics in proven or presumed infectious diarrhoea. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group's trials register (December 2002), the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (The Cochrane Library Issue 4, 2002), MEDLINE (1966 to 2002), EMBASE (1988 to 2002), and reference lists from studies and reviews. We also contacted organizations and individuals working in the field, and pharmaceutical companies manufacturing probiotic agents. Selection criteria: Randomized controlled trials comparing a specified probiotic agent with placebo or no probiotic in people with acute diarrhoea that is proven or presumed to be caused by an infectious agent. Data collection and analysis: Two reviewers independently assessed trial methodological quality and extracted data. Main results: Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria with a total of 1917 participants, mainly in countries with low overall mortality rates. Trials varied in relation to the probiotic(s) tested, dosage, methodological quality, and the diarrhoea definitions and outcomes. Probiotics reduced the risk of diarrhoea at 3 days (relative risk 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.55 to 0.77, random effects model; 15 studies) and the mean duration of diarrhoea by 30.48 hours (95% confidence interval 18.51 to 42.46 hours, random effects model, 12 studies). Subgroup analysis by probiotic(s) tested, rotavirus diarrhoea, national mortality rates, and age of participants did not fully account for the heterogeneity. Reviewers' conclusions: Probiotics appear to be a useful adjunct to rehydration therapy in treating acute, infectious diarrhoea in adults and children. More research is needed to inform the use of particular probiotic regimens in specific patient groups. Citation: SJ, Okoko B, ez E, Gregorio G, Dans LF.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I always buy mine from Biocare in Birmingham, Sheri. They do a very good probiotic called Bioacidophilus and have now started another line which promises to be even better. You can get them mail order but I would suggest you ring them and speak to a nutritionist to get the name of the improved one - I don't have my info to hand and won't be back on-line very early tomorrow. If you order tomorrow they will deliver the following day. Tel no: is 0121 433 3727 for sales and general enquiries and 0121 433 8702 for technical support (nutritionists). Prices are average to high, but quality is excellent imnsho. I have used Bioacidophilus for many years now and would recommend it to anyone. Many of my clients use it. And no, I don't get commission!! LOL!! HTH.
