"Probiotics are defined by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO)/WHO as live microorganisms, which when consumed in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is the most documented probiotic bacteria, with many proven unique characteristics and therewith associated health benefits. No adverse effects of the consumption of LGG in healthy infants have been reported. The Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba containing yoghurt drink, which is locally produced and subsequently consumed by resource-poor communities in rural Uganda has been described. The strain used in this intervention is a generic variant of LGG, called Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba 2012. LGG is consumed as part of food all over the world, and is not a drug.~100ml of yoghurt containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus yoba 2012 will be consumed 5 days per week, for 9 weeks."
