2 mths ago my 2 kids age 4 and 7 had a very bad tummy bug and diahorra which the 4 year old went into the hospital. He had rotavirus. I was told (by my sister in law who swear by it) that i should give them actimel as it would be good for the them to prevents any more tummy bugs. Since then they keep getting the tummy bug and diahorra (3 times) By any chance would it be the actimal is making them worse?
They used to eat yogurts but i stopped that and instead they drink 1 actimal a day otherwise they eat heathly enough
Answer:
There is a TINY bit of evidence that it is better than placebo, but is is difficult to justify the cost of leaving a family on it long term in the light of this minimal effect.
Its is good. A recent study was reported on TV that Actimel was being used in some hospitals to fight the deadly bugs MRSA or whatever you call it and another deadly bug and it proved to be very good in stopping people getting these bugs and it only costs the NHS 38p a day per patient instead of thousands of pounds trying to cure them
Take doc's opinion.Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
If I were you I would call the doctors surgery (rather than make an appointment) and speak to your doctor. I know that Actimel is supposed to be good but is this just for adults rather than children? Maybe their systems don't cope with it. Sorry I don't know the answer but this is what I would do if you are thinking of continuning giving them Actimel. On the other hand stop giving it to them and see what the reaction is, if it's no more tummy bugs and diahorra, then they are best off without it.
