Probiotic to prevent antibiotic stomach problems in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests whether giving a probiotic (a type of healthy yeast) called Saccharomyces boulardii can prevent diarrhea that often happens when children take the antibiotic co-amoxiclav. If your child is taking this antibiotic for a respiratory infection, this probiotic might help keep their stomach and digestion normal.
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.
This trial tests whether probiotics can help prevent stomach and gut side effects from chemotherapy in children with leukemia. If your child is between 6 and 17, in the right phase of treatment, and doesn't have any major gut issues, they may be eligible.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
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.
