Yeast supplement for quick recovery from diarrhea in children
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a yeast supplement called Saccharomyces boulardii can help children aged 6 months to 5 years recover faster from acute diarrhea. If effective, it may reduce the duration of diarrhea and help children feel better sooner.

This study tests whether a medicine called rifaximin, taken along with oral rehydration solution, helps children aged 6 to 11 recover faster from acute (short-lasting) diarrhea that is likely caused by a bacterial infection. The study compares rifaximin plus oral rehydration versus oral rehydration alone.
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 tests whether a probiotic called LGG (a type of good bacteria) helps children with sudden diarrhea from an infection feel better faster. It is for children who have had diarrhea for less than 48 hours and have not taken probiotics or antibiotics recently.
This trial tests if a yeast supplement called Saccharomyces boulardii can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), except for those with constipation as their main symptom. Participants take the supplement and see if their symptoms improve.
This study compares two types of probiotics to see which works better for treating acute watery diarrhea in children aged 1 to 5 years. Children with mild to moderate dehydration and malnutrition may be eligible.
This trial tests whether a supplement (lactoferrin and lysozyme) can help children who have long-term effects after diarrhea. It’s designed for children ages 6 to 24 months and checks whether improving gut recovery can reduce ongoing problems.
