- Background: Diarrhea is a serious health problem in developing countries because 25% of total mortality rate among children in the world is caused by diarrhea and has caused 3-4 million of children to die annually. In Indonesia diarrhea is also a major health problem whereby morbidity rate of diarrhea in 2004 was still relatively high, i.e. 280/1000 population and the second cause of death in underfives. At the working area of Galur II Health Center mortality rate caused by diarrhea in 2007 increased from none to 2 deaths in underfives (3.14/1000) and diarrhea was in the first rank of 10 major diseases in inpatient service activities. One cause of diarrhea is imbalance of intestinal microbes in the digestive tract. This is due to two groups of bacteria (harmful and useful/probiotic bacteria) that kill each other. Previous studies on the potential of probiotic show that Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG was effective in preventing diarrhea and shortening the duration of diarrhea. Growol contains Lactobacillus case subsp. Rhamnosus TGR 2 that has the potential as probiotic. Objective: To identify association between frequency of growol consumption and the prevalence of diarrhea.
