Probiotic mix for children with irritable bowel syndrome
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a mix of two probiotics (L. Rhamnosus GG and L. Plantarum 299V) can help reduce belly pain in children ages 4 to 18 who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If your child has daily belly pain and has been diagnosed with IBS, this treatment might offer relief.
