Any LO's take probiotics?

My DD has somewhat loose stools and my ped recommended giving her probiotics to help.  She doesn't have diarrhea..it's just not really solid.  I forgot to ask if there was a specific type to give her?  I saw Culturelle at the store and it said it was safe for children but just wanted to see if anyone on here had any experience giving this to a toddler.  Thanks!!

    I haven't given DD a specific probiotic, but she does drink a lot of Kefir. I get mine at the regular grocery store, near the organic foods. It's basically just a drinkable yogurt that has more probiotics than a standard yogurt. DD loves it, and it has helped curb her diarrhea whenever she's on antibiotics.?

    We used something called "Florastore" when DD was on a strong antibiotic. It worked GREAT, but it's expensive. We had to ask for it at the pharmacy counter even though it's non-Rx.

    DS is on Culturelle for kids.  I mix it with his milk in the morning.  He takes it because he has a yeast infection due to antibiotics.

    I know a lot of people who have used biogaia. It's over the counter, but you have to ask the pharmacy to order it because it's refrigerated and they usually don't keep it in stock.

    I just started DD on Udo's Natural Choice Infants' Probiotic today.  It got good reviews on Amazon.  Be sure that whatever brand you go with that it is kept cold.
