Facts About B. Infantis Probiotic Strain
The name “B. Infantis” makes it clear that this probiotic strain is important to healthy babies. B Infantis is often one of the first probiotics a mother will pass to her baby. Therefore many doctors and scientists recommend that pregnant women supplement this probiotic.
After Bifido infantis colonizes us as infants, this probiotic bacteria lives in our bodies our whole life. Their primary job is to improve our digestion and to protect us against infection & sickness. B. Infantis has also been scientifically proven to fight allergies & even help prevent kidney stones. B. Infantis accomplishes this by producing large amounts of acid to make our digestive tracts (and the vagina) inhospitable to foreign bacteria and parasites.

Hi Annie,
Before I say this, please listen to your doctor, and do further research – don’t just take my word for it.
My understanding is that b infantis is most effective in newborns. Please do further research on this.
I haven’t heard much about probiotics helping with kidney stones.
I believe pin worms need to be treated with medication given by your doctor, and then reinfection must be prevented by obsessive cleaning.
Best,
