BioGaia probiotics

Has anyone used them? They were on my reflux information page I got from the pediatric GI yesterday and thought I would see if anyone had success with them, especially with a reflux baby. TIA!

I use them with my reflux baby ... Although not for reflux but because she was very gassy and had trouble with constipation and colic. Regardless we are on month 2 of using them and so far I can tell a difference ... She is much calmer, regular, less spit up from screaming and pushing. We will probably continue on them until she starts baby food and see how that goes.

I give DS a probiotic (not BioGaia). He does have reflux but I didn't notice the probiotic making a difference. We started using it because he was super gassy and it made a huuuge difference in that.

What helped his reflux was switching to Nutramigen formula, but he also has a protein allergy. GL.

Yes, we use them with LO. He has reflux. I see a big difference. He is less gassy, fussy and definitely more regular. He has a bowel movement at the same time every day! I ran out of the drops 3 days ago and I see a difference. 

They are very expensive but worth it in my opinion.

Well, I don't want to jinx it, but something is working! Guy has been on the probiotics 5 days now, and his reflux symptoms seem to be decreasing! He is still on Zantac, but I think we might be able to avoid hypoallergenic formula and a med change. Thanks for your responses!
