Abstract
Probiotics have become increasingly popular and are now promoted as having a wide range of benefits. Probiotics are generally very well tolerated and safe but many of the purported uses are not yet well supported with adequate scientific evidence. Two well-established roles for probiotics in children are acute diarrhoeal illness and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. This review summarises the evidence supporting probiotics for various gastrointestinal disorders with particular reference to their role in the management of acute diarrhoea and antibiotic-associated diarrhoea in children.
