HOW I CURED MY BABY’S MYSTERY ILLNESS THAT HAS BAFFLED DOCTORS WITH A SIMPLE YOGHURT DRINK
A mother tells the story about his son’s mysterious condition that causes his stomach to swell, which has been cured by a probiotic product.

Riley Anderson, an 11-month baby, has struggled with the bloating syndrome since his birth. Doctors first noticed the problem when he was just 12 hours old and was immediately taken to a special baby unit. He was fed by a tube and later transferred to a specialist children’s hospital, but no one could figure out what was wrong with him. This problem continued for months until his mother, Anna Anderson decided to change his milk to see if that would help – but it didn’t. He was still bloated.

Mrs. Anderson decided to do some research herself and explored the antibiotic that Riley had been given. She discovered that one of them kills natural bacteria in the body. And as a last resort, she decided to give him a probiotic drink, particularly, Yakult, and the bloating was gone.

A few weeks later, Riley had problem with his ears and she brought him to a hospital where he was given more antibiotics. After just two doses, his stomach began to swell again. Once he was home, Mrs. Anderson began giving him Yakult and he returned to normal.
