Happy parents spending time with baby on the couch at home in the living room

You want your baby to be happy.  All babies are born with leaky gut. It's part of their immature immune system. There is one effective treatment to prevent colic, regurgitation and functional constipation in your infant. Infants suffer from common functional gastrointestinal disorders including: infantile colic, gastroesophageal reflux and constipation. All of these conditions stem from a disorganized and immature intestinal microbiome.  

A  multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled and randonmized clinical trial in Italy used Lactobacillus reuteri DSM species # 17938 daily for 3 months to see if this would be an effective preventive treatment for functional gastrointestinal disorders in infants.This probiotic species is in our GOOD GUT products.  GOOD GUT products are recommended for older children (over 2 years of age) and everyone else in the family.   

Children who received the active lactobacillus had 44% fewer medical visits for gut symptoms, 71% fewer emergency department visits, 82% fewer lost parental work days and significantly less over the counter pharmacy interventions.
 

What does this mean for you and your baby?

It's crystal clear that infants need daily probiotics whether you breastfeed or not. They need healthy colonization in the gut for good gut function.

We believe every baby can be a healthy happy baby and have good gut function. If you have questions about this please call our office. Our mission at Second Nature is to create a healthy new generation. We will do that and you can change your baseline of health now with GOOD GUT products.
