The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using Lactobacillus reuteri or a prebiotic-containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus supplement helps to improve constipation and weight gain in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It will also examine the safety and tolerability of these probiotic products.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do these probiotic supplements improve bowel movement frequency and stool consistency?
Do they support better weight gain and nutritional status in children with CP?
Are there any side effects or tolerability issues during treatment?
Researchers will compare Lactobacillus reuteri with prebiotic-enriched Lactobacillus rhamnosus in a randomized, double-blind, controlled design.
Participants will:
Take one of the probiotic products daily for 28 days
Visit the clinic at the beginning and end of the study for measurements and stool testing
Have their caregivers keep a stool diary using the Bristol stool scale
