Culturelle For Kids

For the past few months, Brandi has been having stomach issues.  Mostly they stem from her not using the bathroom regularly.  When I learned of the opportunity to review Culturelle for kids, I knew she was the one I would test it out on.

The first time I asked her to use it, she was a little hesitant.  She was worried that it would taste weird.  I had her mix it into a bottle of water, and she said she didn't taste any difference at all, which was great, because I knew that meant that she would continue to take it.  I love that it comes in little single serve packets.  It really makes using them simple. 

We did see a difference in how often she was able to use the bathroom, which was great, because it lessened the degree of her tummy aches.  She was going every couple of days, and now she is able to go at least once a day, sometimes more. 

I have been hearing a lot lately about probiotics, and Culturelle stands apart from other probiotics by using Lactobacillus GG, one of the most clinically studied probiotics in the world.  Culturelle:
  • Supports kids still-developing immune system
  • May help reduce upset stomach
  • Helps to reduce occasional diarrhea
  • Helps reduce the length and severity of antibiotic-associated diarrhea
Though these above claims have not been evaluated by the FDA, I can tell you first hand that Culturelle did help with my daughters tummy troubles.  That is no guarantee that it will work for your child.   

“I wrote this review while participating in a Mom Central Consulting blog tour on behalf of Culturelle. I received a Culturelle for Kids product sample and a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
