Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Econorm XXXXXXX contains Saccharomyces boulardii which is a form of yeast.

There are numerous randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled studies showing the efficacy of S. boulardii in the treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders.

Most importantly it is helpful in Acute Gastroenteritis in Children. It is also helpful in various types of diarrhoea such as travellers diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease and so on.

Its using in pure constipation is not certain unless there associated loose stools.

However, its safe and will not cause any harm to your child if taken. Usual duration is for 5 days.

Regarding her food habits. There are no medicines for that. You should encourage her by giving her intermittent rice/bread. Making different dishes out of rice/wheat other than the traditional dishes will be of help.

Hope his answers your query.

Please get back if you need any further information

Thanks and Regards

Dr Kiran

This helps to soften the stools and helps in constipation.
