We give our son a Floragen probiotic every morning. we break the capsule in his almond milk. He is also on the gf cf diet without too much fruit and juice. You can also add benefiber to improve the loose stools. when we added the probiotic over a couple of years ago our son became completely toilet trained. Accidents came only when stools occasionally became loose. He eventually learned to avoid accidents even with loose stools.
