Kefir not effective in treating antibiotic-related diarrhea

A study that appears in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine showed that kefir, a fermented dairy drink, did little to prevent diarrhea in young children being treated with antibiotics. One of the reasons kefir has become popular was for its probiotic content.

Bonnie - kefir, and yogurt to a lesser degree, contains healthy fora, but as I have said in the past, not enough to prevent such strong side effects from antibiotics. This requires a much more potent probiotic supplement.
