The Science Behind Probiotics for Eczema

The use of probiotics - specifically lactobacillus rhamnosus - to reduce the risk of eczema or atopic dermatitis in infants is surprisingly well studied.

Recently, a meta-analysis looked at ten different clinical studies to see how effective lactobacillus rhamnosus is for babies. Across about 2,500 infants studied, eczema was reduced by 50% in infants who took an L Rhamnosus probiotics as compared to a placebo.

Key Takeaways: 

  • L Rhamnosus should be taken by mothers in the 3rd trimester
  • If breastfeeding, both mother and baby should take the probiotic
  • Formula-fed babies can take the probiotic with a bottle
  • While L rhamnosus effectively protects against eczema, it does not have a strong effect on food allergies. Only early allergen introduction is proven to reduce the risk of food allergies.
