Summary

This study will compare two probiotic drinks—Bacillus clausii and a mix of four bacterial strains—in 138 children aged 1 to 5 with acute watery diarrhea.

Active substance

probiotics (Bacillus clausii or multistrain Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium/Streptococcus)

What this could lead to

If one probiotic works better, it could offer a simple, safe way to help kids recover faster from diarrhea.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 138 children, so results may not apply broadly. Probiotics are generally safe but may not always shorten diarrhea.
