Stool frequency per week
Above graph shows the frequency of stools during the study period of 7 days.
According to the results, stool frequency increased from 1.4 time a week before treatment to 4.3 a
week after treatment. This indicates the efficacy of
in increasing patients’ bowel
movement and reduces constipation.

frequency of BMs in overall children increased in each week showing that the
administration of probiotic mixture had a positive effect on frequency of BM.

Unexpected
Time
Diarrhea
Frequent loose or liquid bowel movements, often due
to disruption of water absorption in the colon
Defense Mechanism

In the event of pathogenic infection, diarrhea functions as an evolved expulsion
defense mechanism.

The appendix serves as a safe house for the good bacteria, protecting it from
contamination and facilitating a re-start of the system once the contaminating
organisms has been eliminated.

Treatment of Acute Gastroenteritis in Infants
(6-12 months)
From the study, 65 young children aged 6-12 months, suffering from acute gastroenteritis were
treated daily until diarrhea resolution. As showed in the result, the feeding of microbial cell
preparation reduced the severity and duration of acute gastroenteritis in young children.
Raanan Shamir et. al, Evaluation of a diet containing probiotics for the treatment of mild diarrheal
illness in children younger than one year of age, American College of Nutrition 2005; 24(Suppl. 5):370-375
61 children that tested positive for rotavirus were treated with microbial cell
preparation/placebo for 6 days. Stools were collected and examined again after 6 days of
treatment. In conclusion, oral administration of microbial cell preparation is effective in
reducing the duration of rotavirus excretion.

Combined Treatment (with ORS) of
acute diarrhea in children
37 children aged 3 to 24 months received ORS as a form of rehydration, and were treated to microbial cell
preparation at 12-hours interval until the resolution of diarrhea.
In conclusion, addition of microbial cell preparation to ORS was effective in the treatment of children with
acute diarrhea by decreasing the duration of diarrhea.
