A member asked:

Is it ok to give kids (5-6 years old) probiotics on regular basis say every 2 weeks or so sort of like vitamins for tummy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overkill: I doubt that most kids ever need probiotics, ever. I find it a reasonable supplement if they have had bad diarrhea for a time or been on an antibiotic, but not as a routine. I doubt they would harm anything but don't see the point. That & most vitamins are just pooped or peed out within days.
