The Herald Sun (11/19):
Probiotics may curb odds of necrotizing enterocolitis in preemies
In a study of 1,100 premature infants born in Australia and New
Zealand, researchers found that the supplementation of breast milk with
probiotic formula was associated with a
reduced risk of an inflammatory bowel disorder called necrotizing
enterocolitis. "It's the world's biggest study (on necrotizing
enterocolitis) and it really puts to sleep the whole question that
probiotics can help reduce NEC," said study co-author Suzanne Garland.
The findings were published in the journal Pediatrics.
