Yes, Econorm (Saccharomyces boulardii) is generally very safe for infants to help manage loose stools, even if there is no infection. It is a probiotic that helps restore healthy gut balance. Side effects are extremely rare but can occasionally include mild gas or temporary bloating. Please dissolve the powder in breast milk, formula, or room-temperature water. Most importantly, keep your baby well-hydrated. If the loose stools continue for more than two days, or if you notice signs of dehydration, please reach out to your pediatrician.

Is it safe to give Econorm to my six-month-old baby for loose stools if they do not have an infection, and are there any side effects?
