probiotics and eczema

As someone who has always had eczema, having the opportunity to write this blog with Sian Shepherd, Registered Dietitian, for Symprove For Professionals was very exciting. This blog looks into:

• What eczema is

• The gut microbiome

• Probiotics in the prevention of eczema

• Probiotics in the treatment of eczema - infants & children, adults.

Overall, wthere continues to be significant heterogeneity between individual studies and more research is needed to determine optimal formula, duration, administration route and time for initiation, to achieve the optimal long-term effect, the majority of research suggests the use of a probiotic during pregnancy to reduce the risk of eczema in high risk infants may well be beneficial.
