Probiotic ice cream reduces allergies
Oral Immunotherapy Using Probiotic Ice Cream Containing Recombinant Food-Grade Which Inhibited Allergic Responses in a BALB/c Mouse Model.
High relevance for allergy treatment
We investigated the impact of a probiotic ice cream containing engineered bacteria on pollen allergies in mice. After sensitizing the mice, we treated them with this unique ice cream for four weeks. The results were promising! The ice cream significantly lowered serum IgE levels, which are linked to allergic reactions. Additionally, beneficial cytokines increased while the levels of a harmful cytokine decreased. Overall, our findings suggest that this probiotic ice cream could improve allergy responses, particularly with Th1 and Treg involvement.

Lactobacillus KBL409 reduces atopic dermatitis
Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 Ameliorates Atopic Dermatitis in a Mouse Model.
Relevance score high for probiotics
We explored the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus KBL409 on atopic dermatitis (AD) using a house dust mite-induced mouse model. The treatment notably lowered dermatitis symptoms and reduced immune cell infiltration in the skin. Additionally, it decreased levels of specific immune markers and increased anti-inflammatory responses.

L. acidophilus KBL409 also positively influenced gut microbiota and certain metabolites. The findings suggest that this probiotic may offer a promising approach to managing AD through immune system modulation and gut health improvement.

Lactobacillus L-92 shows promise
Efficacy of prolonged ingestion of Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 in adult patients with atopic dermatitis.
High relevance to eczema treatment
We conducted a thorough investigation to see how Lactobacillus acidophilus L-92 affects skin symptoms in adults with atopic dermatitis. In this double-blind study involving 50 participants, we compared this probiotic against a placebo over 24 weeks.

Our findings showed that those taking L-92 experienced significant improvements in skin condition compared to the placebo group. There were reductions in symptoms and overall severity, with no adverse effects reported. This suggests that L-92 may help manage inflammation linked to allergies.

Allergy improvement
I have a wheat allergy and began taking several supplements for my leaky gut. After three months, my wheat allergy vanished! I'm thrilled to eat anything now. While I cannot ascertain the effect of this product alone, my gut health has definitely improved. I store it in the fridge and consume it before bed, and the size is easy to drink.

Bifiform Kids shows allergy-related benefits
[The effectiveness of BIFIFORM KIDS in the prevention of the incidence of acute respiratory infections in children].
Relevant to children's health research.
We sought to understand if Bifiform Kids, a probiotic, could help prevent respiratory infections in children with recurrent infections and gastrointestinal allergy symptoms. In our controlled trial with 92 children aged 4 to 5, those taking the probiotic showed a significant 3-fold reduction in respiratory infections compared to the control group.

After 21 days, there were notable immune system improvements, including an increase in protective IgA levels and a decrease in allergic IgE. These findings suggest that Bifiform Kids is effective for preventing respiratory infections in children facing allergic issues.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus shows promise
The Effect of Lactobacillus actobacillus Peptidoglycan on Bovine β-Lactoglobulin-Sensitized Mice via TLR2/NF-κB Pathway.
Moderate relevance to allergy treatment
We investigated the effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus on allergies, particularly its peptidoglycan derived from dairy. In a mouse model of β-lactoglobulin allergy, we discovered that this peptidoglycan helped lower IgE production and promoted a healthier immune response. It also appeared to influence specific immune signaling pathways that help manage allergic reactions.

However, while the results showed promise, they were conducted in a controlled lab setting and further studies are needed to understand how these effects translate to humans.

Lactobacillus acidophilus may reduce allergies
Probiotic Dahi containing Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum modulates immunoglobulin levels and cytokines expression in whey proteins sensitised mice.
Study shows potential probiotic benefits.
Our study assessed how Lactobacillus acidophilus in probiotic Dahi affects allergies, particularly cow milk allergy in mice. Mice were given two types of probiotic Dahi before being exposed to whey proteins.

The results were promising; we found that the probiotic treatment reduced allergy-related immune responses. Specifically, it lowered certain IgE levels and shifted the immune response from a Th2-type to a Th1-type, which is generally more protective against allergens.

While further research is needed, these findings suggest that probiotics could be a potential avenue for managing food allergies.
