In a double - blind study of infants,
supplementation of a standard milk - based formula with probiotic organisms (Bifidobacterium lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus)
significantly reduced the frequency of colic, compared with the same formula minus the probiotics.13 Similarly, another study found that after a month of administering probiotic
oil drops with Reuteri bacteria, parents reported
significantly less screaming in their children.14 Support of intestinal microflora is a core concept in the Wise Traditions diet.
