Probiotics, how long to appropriate them?
I am going to try Probiotics for my youngest daughters bladder problems. But I have no idea how long she is supposed to stay on them. So how long are you supposed to take Probiotics?
Answers:
These are of dubious efficacy and it really depends on the individual. Try them but if you don't see any clear benefit after 3 weeks, discontinue use.
Probiotics are perfectly safe to bear every day for the rest of your life if you'd like. Probiotics are the beneficial germs that live in the intestinal tract and other areas in the body, so they are perfectly sheltered and rather beneficial.
If you wanted to limit them to a sure timeframe, you could take them for a good 2-3 weeks after the symptoms stop, but it's very possible the symptoms may come wager on within a few months after you stop them (depending on what the cause of the problem is).
Ultimately, it's up to each character to decide how long they want to take various nutrients, but I hope that help you in your decision!
[edit]: They are safe for children to use contained by the proper doses, yes. In fact, after any antibiotic regimen, they are recommended by most any holistic doctor for anyone from an infant to a senior and beyond. If you were using a good children's formula, consequently you could stop a month after the symptoms stop and they should be good for quite some time, but then only go back on them when the symptoms come back. Children can still clutch them daily just like they can next to Yogurt, which also has Probiotics in it.

Yep, they are sheltered for kids to take...it would be darned difficult to have problems from taking too many probiotics (there is one unusual vaginal infection relatebeside yourselfaking too many...and it typically occurs in culture who have other immune problems....the treatment is to stop taking the probiotic...)
But if it is for a bladder problem in a child I would look for one that contains Lactobacilus Acidophilus AND bifidus Bifidum Infantus
Solaray, Solgar and Country Life all trade name probiotics for children that contain those strains...you probably also want one that contains a few billion as oppossed to millions...
Luckily, probiotics will take up residence in the urinary tract much more easily than the reproductive tract. Also - be aware that probiotics are Gram positive microbes - so clear in your mind antibiotics will do them in...
Any pharmacist will be able to help you next to the antibiotic issue if you need further assistance.
Good Luck
