Who needs extra caution?

Probiotics can cause mild gas. Serious infections have been reported mainly in people who are severely ill or immunocompromised; premature infants are also a particularly vulnerable group. These situations need clinical oversight rather than an over-the-counter trial. 1

With diarrhea, fluids come first

Replacing lost fluid and salts is the priority. IQWiG advises a rehydration solution for small children, older people and severe diarrhea. A probiotic does not take the place of this treatment. 2
