Actimel, are they good or bad?!


Question:

Actimel, are they good or bad?

2 mths ago my 2 kids age 4 and 7 had a very bad tummy bug and diahorra which the 4 year old went into the hospital. He had rotavirus. I was told (by my sister in law who swear by it) that i should give them actimel as it would be good for the them to prevents any more tummy bugs. Since then they keep getting the tummy bug and diahorra (3 times) By any chance would it be the actimal is making them worse?
They used to eat yogurts but i stopped that and instead they drink 1 actimal a day otherwise they eat heathly enough
Proper answers please

They are not allergic to dairy product, Its only since they started drinking actimel
My husband, baby(age 1) and myself don't drink it and we have never being sick so it must be something else in the stuff

Answers:

There is a TINY bit of evidence that it is better than placebo, but is is difficult to justify the cost of leaving a family on it long term in the light of this minimal effect.
