Measure
Use Probiotics Boucardii
group A will be administered the lactobacillus boucardii probiotic (1x109 colonies forming units (UFC) per day for 3 weeks). use probiotics Boucardii: group A will be administered the lactobacillus boucardii probiotic (1x109 colonies forming units (UFC) per day for 3 weeks). The diagnosis of NEC will be made using the Bell criteria by the attending physician. Gastric tolerance will be measured, the number and the characteristics of the feces before and after the administration of the probiotic, and also the levels of (IgA s) will be measured at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
Use Probiotics Multi-species
Group B will be administered multi-species probiotic (1x109 colonies forming units (UFC) per day for 3 weeks). use probiotics Multi-species: Group B will be administered multi-species probiotic (1x109 colonies forming units (UFC) per day for 3 weeks). The diagnosis of NEC will be made using the Bell criteria by the attending physician. Gastric tolerance will be measured, the number and the characteristics of the feces before and after the administration of the probiotic, and also the levels of (IgA s) will be measured at the beginning and at the end of treatment.
