The term eczema refers to a group of inflammatory skin conditions. There are many different types of eczema, categorised based on the underlying cause and skin location affected 2. The lifetime prevalence of eczema is reported to be 28% of the population, but it is most common in children. Up to 20% of children are affected 3, with 60% of cases developing before the age of one year. For most individuals, it resolves in adolescence. There is often a predisposition for the development of other atopic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis, known as the “atopic march” 3.

An imbalance in Th1/Th2 immune responses is prominent in atopic dermatitis. Probiotics can help through their anti-inflammatory effects and by suppressing the Th2 immune cell response. preventing and reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis. Specific strains of probiotics can reduce inflammation by stimulating regulatory T cells which produce anti-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-10 and Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 13. Stimulation of regulatory T cells can also inhibit T helper 2 cells 13.All questions answered by probiotic expert Kerry Beeson BSc (Nut. Med.) Nutritional Therapist. What are baby live cultures? In another gold standard trial by Schmidt et al, involving 285 infants with an average age of 10 months old, the preventative effects of a combination of 1 billion CFU of both Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG ® and Bifidobacteriumlactis BB12 ® daily were demonstrated. After 6 months, significantly more infants had developed eczema in the placebo group compared with the control group (p=0.036). Lewis-Jones S.

Lopetuso LR. The therapeutic management of gut barrier leaking: the emerging role for mucosal barrier protectors. 2015;(19):1068-1076. In early life, colonisation of the gut with microbes is fundamental for the development of a healthy immune system. These microbes activate and promote healthy development of the immature gut mucosal immune system. The hygiene hypothesis identifies an association between the increasing prevalence of atopic and allergic conditions and features of a typical Western lifestyle including highly sanitised environments and antibiotic exposure 9. Infants are exposed to microbes in their environment less and less which can prevent adequate development of the immune system. An immature immune system is dominated by a T helper 2 cell immune response which is implicated in allergic and atopic diseases including atopic dermatitis.
