Manage Diarrhoea With Enterogermina: The Gut-Friendly Probiotic

By Dixit Arora +2 more

Is your child complaining of stomach cramps and frequently visiting the loo? It could be a case of acute diarrhoea. Diarrhoea is a condition where your child’s stool becomes loose and watery. It can be a very uncomfortable condition, which means your child may have to avoid school and stay at home.

How can you treat diarrhoea?

Giving your child the right food for diarrhoea can help with loose motion treatment. When your child is recovering from diarrhoea, it is necessary to keep an eye on the type of food to be taken or avoided.  

Here are some tips to help manage diarrhoea:

  1. Follow a BRAT diet. Bananas, Rice, Apple and Toast- these are bland (so won’t aggravate the digestive system) and binding (they help firm up stool) foods. Broths, coconut water, mixes of cereal, locally available beans, dairy products and eggs are a great food for diarrhoea.  
  2. Give your child ORS. It helps in rehydrating the body and is apt for loose motion treatment as it is absorbed in the small intestine and replaces the water and electrolytes lost in stools.
  3. Taking probiotics as soon as possible during and after diarrhoea can help in the recovery process as well as with loose motion treatment. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for the digestive system and their key role is to keep the gut healthy.

The use of probiotics has been recommended to improve immunity and general health. It is now understood that the commensal human gut microbes may contribute to the onset of metabolic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Dr. M.G. Kartheeka – MBBS, MD(Pediatrics)

Role of probiotics in diarrhoea

Our gut is lined with about 100 billion bacteria that create a thriving ecosystem that performs important functions like aiding the immune system, producing the feel-good chemical serotonin, making energy from the food we eat and disposing of foreign substances and toxins. This is the reason that we need to ensure our gut always stays healthy.  

What happens during diarrhoea? During diarrhoea, our gut flora loses its balance and the bad bacteria starts to rule. It is important to preserve and rebuild this balance so that it can continue to carry on its beneficial functions. This is when probiotics for diarrhoea must intervene and become the hero!  

A good point to note is the difference between pro- and pre-biotics. Probiotics are foods or supplements that contain live microorganisms intended to maintain or improve the “good” bacteria (normal microflora) in the body e.g., Yogurt. Prebiotics are foods (typically high-fiber foods) that act as food for human microflora e.g. fruits, vegetables, etc.

Enterogermina 2 billion

Enterogermina is the World’s No. 1 probiotic brand, sold in over 70 countries. It is the most recommended brand by paediatricians.

Enterogermina 2 billion is the ideal probiotic that maintains the right kind of flora balance, strengthens your child’s immunity and provides gentle gut care for your child. Its friendly bacteria helps in restoring the natural balance of gut bacteria and addresses the root cause of diarrhoea and other digestive troubles. It also contributes to correct dysvitaminosis – which is the imbalance of production and assimilation of vitamins. It’s lactose-free, sugar-free and gluten-free.

Probiotics are helpful in managing diarrhoea in children but people should not self medicate. Always consult a pediatrician in case of frequent loose motions in children. Do not start antibiotics without prescription.

Dr. Arpit Verma, MBBS, MD (Pharmacology)
