Are there rumblings in that tummy? You work hard to protect your child from illness and discomfort, but occasionally digestive upsets happen. Mountain High Yoghurt can help.

Your child’s digestive system functions best with adequate levels of the beneficial bacteria (or microflora) that are found naturally in their intestinal tract. Harmful bacteria also reside there, but an adequate level of the “good” bacteria—in particular, probiotic yoghurt cultures (L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei)—keeps them in check. Unfortunately, stress, travel, the use of antibiotics or other medications, illnesses like diarrhea, and other factors can upset that microbial balance, giving the "bad" bacteria an advantage. Mountain High Yoghurt is loaded with helpful probiotic cultures, so it can help restore your child’s intestinal health.

For digestive upsets, start with small amounts of Mountain High Yoghurt and gradually increase the serving size to a normal portion for your child’s age and weight. You can also mix Mountain High Yoghurt with oatmeal, mashed bananas, applesauce, rice cereal, or other foods that offset diarrhea and other symptoms. During antibiotic use, it helps to eat a regular portion of Mountain High Yoghurt two to three times a day to avoid or offset side effects of the medication.
