Reply #5: Well [View All]

It's just that my lil' precious was born premature and suffered this weird thing where her epiglottis would not close when she swallowed liquids. Eventually, all was made well with antibiotics - except years later, she developed irritable bowel syndrome. A nurse practitioner advised her to start eating plain yogurt to re-introduce her digestive tract to helpful bacteria.

In other words, I wonder if your friend's baby could be helped by small increments of acidophilus - perhaps from good old-fashioned plain yogurt?
