A Synbiotic Mixture for Managing Infantile Colic
Study Overview
This study investigates the effectiveness of a synbiotic (Bactecal D Liquid) for infants experiencing colic, which is characterized by excessive crying and irritability. A total of 68 infants were involved in a randomized trial, where they received either one or two doses of the synbiotic daily for 28 days.
Key Findings
- Improved Quality of Life: Caregiver quality of life scores significantly increased after just 7 days of treatment.
- Significant Reductions: The number of crying episodes, total crying time, gassiness, and ‘balling of fists’ were all significantly lower after 28 days.
- Quick Results: The benefits were noticeable much earlier than expected, within one week of starting the treatment.
What We Learned
- Effective Treatment: The synbiotic was effective in managing infant colic symptoms.
- No Difference in Doses: One dose was as effective as two doses.
- Feeding Independence: Improvements were observed regardless of whether the infants were breastfed, formula-fed, or mixed-fed.
