What to do if gas or a temporary worsening of symptoms appears after starting BioGaia
Here are useful and up-to-date recommendations:

Why this can happen

During the first days of taking a probiotic, some babies may experience increased gas or changes in stool.

This is a temporary reaction to the gut being colonized by new beneficial bacteria.

In most infants, symptoms resolve within 2–5 days.

When this is considered normal

Mild increase in gas.

Small changes in stool: more frequent, softer, or slightly less frequent.

Short-term fussiness during the first few days.

What you can do at home

Make sure the dosage is correct.

Try giving the drops during feeding or immediately after.

Ensure the drops are not mixed with hot liquids, as heat can destroy the bacteria.

You may temporarily reduce the dose for 1–2 days, then return to the full dose as advised by a doctor.

When to consult a pediatrician

If symptoms last longer than a week.

If rash, vomiting, severe diarrhea, or significant discomfort occurs.

If the worsening coincides with other dietary changes or the introduction of new medications.

If you were denied help at the pharmacy or received incomplete advice about possible reactions, be sure to share your experience on Xolvie to help prevent similar situations for other buyers.
