What Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 is used for

  • Strongest data in infant colic; adult evidence covers H. pylori adjunct and oral health.
  • Strain-specific; generic 'L. reuteri' is not equivalent.
  • Some L. reuteri strains can raise gut histamine; if you are exploring a possible histamine pattern, prefer a named histamine-neutral strain and review with a clinician. (Note the effect is strain-dependent, and L. reuteri histamine can be anti-inflammatory in some contexts — hence review, not avoidance.)
