Probiotics for treatment of acute diarrhea in children: randomised clinical trial of five
different preparations. British Medical Journal, 335(7615), 340.
This paper is not selected because the research population are children. This is not
relevant, because the recommendation is written for an adult.
- Cimperman, L., Bayless, G., Best, K., Diligente, A., Mordarski, B., Oster, M., et al.
(2011). A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of lactobacillus
reuteri atcc 55730 for the prevention of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in hospitalized
adults. Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 45(9), 785-9.
doi:10.1097/MCG.0b013e3182166a42
This paper is not selected because the research population is too small, and for that
reason not as reliable.
- Pereg, D., Kimhi, O., Tirosh, A., Orr, N., Kayouf, R., & Lishner, M. (2005). The
effect of fermented yogurt on the prevention of diarrhea in a healthy adult population.

This paper is not selected because it focusses on the prevention of diarrhea rather
than treatment during diarrhea. The patient the recommendation is written for
already suffers from diarrhea, and therefor this paper is irrelevant.
