Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Giving certain fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi to a child can restore the good bacteria in the intestine.
  • Fibre-rich foods can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after antibiotics. Whole grains such as brown rice and whole-grain bread should be included in your child's diet.
  • Make sure the child drinks plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking Ceflark 300mg Capsule.
