Kefir does not help to prevent antibiotics-associated diarrhea in children overall, but there may be some benefits for specific groups of children, according to a new study.
Young children are regularly prescribed antibiotics. Around 20 to 30 percent of children, however, develop diarrhea as a side-effect. Diarrhea can have serious health impacts, while the benefits of the antibiotics are often questionable. Although education of doctors and the general public has decreased the rate of antibiotics prescriptions, around 25 percent of all doctor’s visits for children younger than five years still result in a prescription for antibiotics.
