Giacamo Ferrera : We give this to both of our children, who were both caesareans and have suffered various digestive problems including lactose intolerance. They are both finding it easier to have small amounts of dairy since taking these, and Sara's eczema is clearing up too. Fantastic product. Date : 01/11/2010
