Dysbacteriosis in children - treatment for the first symptoms

The human intestine is home to over 500 varieties of microbes that create a suitable microflora. The majority of bifidobacteria live in the large intestine. Due to their presence:

• A person is protected from pathogenic microorganisms by a thin film created by bifidobacteria;
• Microorganisms produce folic acid, pantothenic, vitamins of group B, PP, K, C;
• The microflora secretes substances that regulate metabolism and intestinal function;
• Participates in bile transfer.

To study the state of microflora:

• Carry out a biochemical analysis of the patient's stool;
• Coprologic analysis;
• Gastroscopy;
• Study on the bacteria of the intestine and bile.

If the child has normal stool, no bloating andthere is no stomach ache, then there is no point in subjecting the baby to all the indicated examinations. In such cases, when breastfeeding, doctors recommend changing the diet, not eating foods that cause allergies and discomfort. When artificially feeding, you should change the baby formula. It is also necessary to exclude the use of antibiotics, or introduce missing enzymes to break down food.

• Correction of biocenosis is handled by a specialist - gastroenterologist, pediatrician, infectious physician, allergist.
• There are a number of sour-milk products that can normalize the landscape of the intestinal microflora, which include: NAS, Lactofidus, Narine, Bifidok and others.
