• digestive disorders, including diarrhea, Crohn’s disease, and irritable bowel syndrome
• urogenital diseases, such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, and urinary tract infection
• allergies and eczema

Let’s zoom in on the last one. There’s a new study published in the the Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology, supporting previous findings that the consumption of pre-and probitics does prevent the onset of atopic dermatitis (also called neurodermatitis, atopic eczema) in children.

Apparently, supplementing a pregnant women’s — and later, their newborns’– diet with probiotics/prebiotics resulted in a reduction of eczema and atopic eczema cases.

For an overview of the study and the major results, see the feature report from NutraIngredients.
