Probiotic for kids taking acid-reducing medicine
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific probiotic (Lactobacillus reuteri) is helpful for children who need acid-reducing medicine for reflux or stomach discomfort. It may help improve stomach symptoms while they are on or need treatment with proton pump inhibitors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 month and 14 years old
- Your child needs proton pump inhibitor (acid-reducing) treatment for reflux and/or functional dyspepsia (stomach discomfort)
- You can give signed consent for the child to join
- Your child must not have serious nerve/muscle conditions like certain neurologic problems or spastic weakness
- Your child should not be fed through a tube (nasogastric tube) and should not have known immune system problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a type of medicine that reduces stomach acid, affect the natural bacteria in the gut of children and teenagers. It may help us understand if PPIs change gut health, which could guide future treatment decisions.
This study tests whether a mixture of two friendly bacteria (probiotics) can improve belly pain and other IBS symptoms in children. If your child qualifies, they may receive the probiotic mixture or a placebo for a period of time.
This study tests whether a probiotic called Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG can improve gut bacteria changes caused by proton pump inhibitors (acid-reducing medicines). It mainly involves people who are otherwise healthy and do not currently have ongoing stomach or gut symptoms.
This trial tests whether a probiotic (Bifidobacterium breve PRL2020) can reduce antibiotic-related side effects like diarrhea and stomach upset in children aged 3 to 12 years taking amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. If effective, it may help children feel better while on antibiotics.
This early-stage trial tests whether a probiotic supplement can help support treatment of reflux disease (GERD) in patients already taking a standard reflux medication. Researchers want to see if adding probiotics might improve symptoms or overall digestive health.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) and zinc supplements together can help reduce symptoms of acid reflux (GERD) and improve the health of your esophagus. It is a phase 4 study, which means these treatments are already in use, and this trial looks at how well they work in real-world patients.
