Probiotics may protect infants from developing colic

From The Wall Street Journal (tiered subscription model) (1/13):

Probiotics may protect infants from developing colic

Newborns who were given a daily dose of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri during the first three months of life had reduced time of inconsolable crying compared with the placebo group, an Italian study showed. Early introduction to probiotics was also associated with a lower incidence of gastrointestinal problems, including constipation and regurgitation, researchers reported in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
