Culturelle Kids Probiotic + Fiber Packets (Ages 3+) - 24 Count - Digestive Health & Immune Support - Helps Restore Regularity (Packaging may vary)

Our kid has struggled with regularity, mostly because he refuses to eat either fruits or vegetables OR drink juice. Hes peculiar, and it leads to difficulties with pooping. We had been trying the fiber gummies but then he went through a couple weeks where he wouldnt eat them at all. So I began looking for other options. We first tried this about a month ago, using one pack per day, and while I havent seen him pooping more regularly (he goes every 2-3 days usually), he does seem to struggle less -- there have been fewer tears, the poops are less chunky and while firm, a more consistent consistency (sorry, cant think of how to say that better), and there has been less strain on his anus (in the past, after a particularly difficult or chunky poop, there would sometimes be a little blood where it had to stretch too far). We are going to try another month of the Culturelle to see if the trend continues, and I may up the dosage to twice a day to see if there is any change. Some other parents complained about the powder not fully dissolving and that their kid wouldnt drink it. We havent had any issues in that regard, but our son is used to powders in his milk. Weve used a toddler supplement powder to help ensure hes getting nutrients during especially picky phases, and I also crush up his chewable vitamin into his milk (he doesnt like eating them, and gummy vitamins dont usually have iron) so there hasnt been a problem with him drinking the Culturelle. Now Ive only ever added it to milk -- not juice or water -- so I dont know if that helps mask the flavor or the graininess, or if my kid is just truly a champ at drinking powdery milk. :P UPDATE: Since one pack of powder alone was not really giving us the results we were hoping for, we tried adding back in fiber gummies to his diet along with one packet of Culturelle a day and its been working great! His poops are more consistent, smaller in size (because hes not getting so backed up before he goes), and there have been almost no tears at all. If one pack of Culturelle a day isnt working for you and you dont like the expense of doing 2 or more packets, try adding in the fiber gummies; Lil Critter brand is 45 days worth for about $7.

I have used these for myself during pregnancy and most importantly, for my 3 yr old LO. He has struggled with painful stools and began holding in his stools due to the fear of the pain he was feeling during a BM. I poured one packet in his drink this AM (we used a nutritional chocolate milk- shook very well and it dissolved nicely!!!) and within 2ish hours he had 2 soft BM’s in a row!!! It sounds funny, but it is a dream come true for a momma that worries about her LO and wants to help, but in this situation I was feeling helpless until we tried these fiber packets!!!

My 18 month old has had issues since she was switched to milk from formula. Over time it worsened and she was only having a bowel movement every 3 days, and it was hard for her to go when she did. I started off with only 1 a day, but 3 are allowed. Somedays shed need 2 but eventually shed go. I also pushed water. Eventually I switched her to almond milk too, and these were no longer needed as often. I would definitely recommend these if your little ones suffering the same issues as mine was.

The reviews are right!! I was skeptical because we’ve tried SO many things with little to zero results. I finally ordered this right before we had an appointment scheduled with pediatric gastroenterologist and she recommended it too! The minute we started our little one started going everyday. At first, 3-4x a day! This has been such a relief, hopefully my review helps someone like the others helped us!!

THIS REPLACED MIRALAX FOR OUR DAUGHTER. And yes, it worked. She struggles with constipation and holding and then has what my wife and I lovingly refer to as scream poops. Take her to the Dr, then a pediatric gastroenterologist and they put her on a cap of miralax a day. Thats A LOT for a little person. She acted weird on it, pain, tummy rumblings and diarrhea. So we stopped the miralax. Big mistake as we were right back in scream poop land which is horrible for all. Then I decided to try this as a replacement. We give her 3 packets a day. I mix it in a little water in her juice cup (2 fingers) and then add 2 fingers of prune juice. This has been a godsend without all the horrible miralax side effects like cramping and behavior issues which she 100% had. As an experiment, I took a capful of the miralax for 2 weeks everyday to see what she was going through and I felt like an awful parent. I had cramping, dizziness, just generally weird feelings. I hated it and Im a pretty normal 41 year old dude with little complaints and a regular build. VERY grateful to have found this for our daughter. * 3 month update: still using these 3X per day and loving the results. Morning, noon and night. Have it on auto deliver.

This product has been a lifesaver. My toddler had so many issues with constipation and because the pooping process had been painful a couple of times, he would then try to stop himself from going #2, making things even worse. I was at the end of my rope, since he was refusing prune juice and any other food that could help with the situation. I had to resort to suppositories, which worked, but are quite a traumatic process for both him and myself, and definitely not a long term solution. These packets took 5 days to start working, but since then hes had a bowel movement every day or every other day! My sanity has been restored. I add one packet to a little bit of water, make sure its dissolved, and then mix that in his milk. I seriously cant recommend this product enough!

This is a graat way to add little extra fiber to your little ones diet without them even noticing. This is also a great resource to keep on had around holidays or when traveling or any other time that there is a deviation form the normal nutritional routine so that little ones dont get constipated. It is tase free and has no flavor so it can be easily hidden in juice, waster, or a variety of things.

A great alternative to miralax to keep my 2 and 4 year old regular. Only need one pack per day.

5/5 Do not hesitate to buy if you have a toddler with on going constipation. My kids pediatrician recommended miralax but I found this & wow. It worked right away. It wasn’t harsh on my 2yo belly. And it gave her NORMAL bowel movements that she’s never had, since birth! Miracle in a packet
