A member asked:

Can acidophilus help stop my son's diarrhea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe,maybe not: Acidophilus as as a benign product will not hurt a kid with diarrhea, and the beneficial organisms in the product can help the gut build up a normal level of helpful bacteria. It can be a helpful product in helping a kid get over diarrhea.
