Probiotic for Gut Health in Young Children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a probiotic (a 'good bacteria' supplement) can help balance the gut bacteria in young children. Your child may be able to join if they are healthy, under 7, and haven't taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 7 years old.
- Your child must have been born full-term (at least 37 weeks).
- Your child must be generally healthy, without serious ongoing illnesses.
- Your child must not have taken probiotics, prebiotics, or probiotic-containing milk powder in the past 4 weeks.
- Your child must not have used antibiotics in the past 4 weeks.
- Your child must not have taken part in another research study in the past 8 weeks.

This study tests whether two types of probiotics (good bacteria) given to healthy babies under 6 months can help their gut microbiome develop. It compares probiotics to a placebo (inactive product).
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.
This study looks at whether giving probiotics to healthy newborns changes the bacteria in their stool. It may help researchers understand early gut health, but it is only for babies who meet specific health and timing requirements.
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help young children recover faster from common colds. If your child has a mild or moderate cold and is not taking other probiotics, they may be able to join.
This study tests whether a multi-strain probiotic supplement can change the gut bacteria in children and teens with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers will collect stool samples to see if the probiotics help restore healthy gut bacteria and potentially improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a probiotic called Bacillus Coagulans SNZ 1969 can support the immune health of healthy children aged 6 to 12. Your child would take the probiotic or a placebo daily for a period while keeping their usual routine.
