Probiotics
: Only a small number of the variety and combinations of probiotics have been studied in the treatment of allergies, mostly with children, teenagers, and young adults. Inhalant allergy conditions such as allergic rhinitis (nasal inflammation and discharge) during pollen season have had mixed results. Some studies have found no benefits, while others have found benefit from adding probiotics to fermented milk. There is also evidence that yogurt may improve or prevent recurrence of allergic rhinitis. Studies of allergic skin reactions in infants (allergic dermatitis, atopic eczema) suggest that supplementation, including for breastfeeding mothers, may reduce frequency, symptom levels, and duration. In summary, a definitive role of probiotics for allergic conditions remains unproven, although initial results in studies of children with a variety of preparations are promising.Probiotics are generally considered safe and well-tolerated.
