Probiotics for Kids on Antibiotics: Which Strains Actually Prevent Diarrhoea | Emma Sutherland

from Natural Health with Emma Sutherland · host Emma Sutherland

Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea affects up to 62% of children, and I see so many families who were never given the practical tools to prevent it. In this solo episode, I unpack two landmark studies to reveal the specific probiotic strains that the evidence actually supports: Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii.I walk you through my exact dosing protocol, why timing from dose one is non-negotiable, and why strain specificity matters far more than a brand name. I also share how you can support your child's gut through diet during and after a course of antibiotics, making evidence-based integrative medicine practical for your real family life.There is one detail about how Saccharomyces boulardii works — a detail most parents have never heard — that reframes the entire conversation. You'll find it in the second half of this episode.Newsletter: https://www.studio-you.com.au/subscribe-newsletter/More from Emma: https://emmasutherland.com.auEducational DisclaimerDISCLAIMER: The content in Emma's podcast episodes is for educational and general information purposes only and SHALL NOT be construed as health or medical advice.
