Episode 10: Probiotics for Kids

Today, we're going to be talking about one of the questions that I commonly get asked as a Naturopath, and that is, probiotics - do my kids need them? And if so, which ones should I be giving them? As I mentioned in previous episodes, there are three main ways that we can top up that healthy beneficial bacteria in our kids’ gut microbiome: eating fermented foods, environmental exposure to microbes and probiotic supplements, which is what we're going to focus on today. I’ll be talking in-depth about certain strains of good bacteria and what they can do to help our kids’ health, such as:Lactobacillus rhamnosus LGG – to help improve allergic toleranceLactobacillus acidophilus NCFM and Bifidobacterium – to reduce pain and bloating in the gut, for boosting immunity and restoring gut health after antibiotic useSaccharomyces boulardii – to balance gut flora and address conditions of overgrowthEpisode Links:Get on the waitlist for the Natural Super Kids KLUBBook an appointment with our Naturopath Check out the Kultured Wellness starter cultures  This episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.
