Most people have experienced the problem of constipation. Mild constipation symptoms are usually improved by eating fruits, vegetables, and fiber supplements. In severe cases, medication may also be considered. Babies can also have this problem. Mothers will give probiotics to babies who are constipated or have problems with chronic constipation. How old should babies consume probiotics?
Probiotic babies can always eat them. But probiotics do not require babies to constantly supplement for a long time. When babies experience gastrointestinal problems such as constipation or diarrhea, it is necessary to take some probiotics to regulate their gastrointestinal function. Just stop when the baby has normal bowel movements. For babies of different sizes, there are also different types of probiotics. Just decide based on the baby's condition. If probiotics are not stored properly, they will lose their activity and affect their effectiveness. How should probiotics be stored?
1. Low temperature. Among probiotics, active probiotics play a role in regulating the gastrointestinal tract. The quantity of active probiotics can only be maintained in a low-temperature storage state. Meanwhile, if the temperature is too high, it can also cause probiotics to enter the fermentation stage. The taste of probiotics will change after fermentation.
2. Avoid light. The same applies to light avoidance and low-temperature storage. Exposure to direct light can make the taste sour.
3. Within the shelf life. The shelf life of probiotics is usually short, so it is important to consume them within their shelf life. Prolonged storage can also reduce the quantity of probiotics.
