Re: Probiotics and colic

I don't know if that is true or not....I was just stating an experience I
had... maybe next time I will leave them go and see if it goes away on its
own?   I don't know if I could stand to do that.  If it DOES work, even if
there is no explanation for it, then it works.  Perhaps it was something else
in the formula that soothed the stomach.... I don't know.   But that is what
happened in my experience.
