Did you know that 61% of moms say that occasional regularity issues in their children are a top concern? I’m not surprised at all! Many of my mom friends have discussed this topic on more than one occasion. I remember having this problem myself as a child and it’s not fun! Luckily there are ways to avoid getting backed up so your child doesn’t have to experience that uncomfortable feeling.
One of the most important ways to help stay regular is to make sure you stay hydrated. If your child doesn’t like to drink water, try infusing water with fruit! It makes for a tasty and refreshing treat to quench their thirst and make sure their little bodies are getting the hydration they need.
Stress can be a contributing factor in regularity issues. Make sure to give your children some down time for things they enjoy like coloring or being active at the park to relieve day to day stresses.
Culturelle Kids Regularity Gentle-Go Formula is also a great option when the need arises. It’s a gentle blend of dietary fiber from inulin, a prebiotic vegetable fiber and whole kiwi fruit. Another key ingredient, Lactobacillus GG, the most studied probiotic strain, works in harmony with the fiber to promote regularity, helping kids go easier while keeping their digestive systems running smoothly.
Culturelle comes in handy single serve packets with flavorless powder inside. Just mix it with a few ounces of water, yogurt, applesauce or something similar that your child enjoys eating/drinking. Each packet contains 2.5 billion active cultures of the probiotic Lactobacillus GG and 3.5g or dietary fiber from inulin. These things help restore the natural balance of good bacteria in the digestive track which in turn, promotes daily regularity and helps children go easier*.
I remember my mom trying to get me to eat prunes when I was little to help with my tummy troubles. I hated prunes! A single serving of Culturelle contains as much dietary fiber as five prunes and none of the yuckiness of having to eat an actual prune. Culturelle is sugar-free, gluten-free, diary-free and drug and stimulant free — all of which make Culturelle a great choice to help regulate bowel function and overall digestive health*. It’s no wonder Culuturelle Kids is recommended by more pediatricians than any other brand!
Children one (1) to six (6) years old can take one (1) packet, daily. Children between the ages of seven (7) and twelve (12) can take one (1) packet, twice daily. Culturelle Kids Regularity Gentle-GoTM Formula is available at all major retailers, including Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid for $26.49 for 24 single serve packets.
