What Are Probiotics?
Probiotics are supplements which contain a mixture of ‘friendly’
bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
These bacteria are naturally found in the bowel and help to keep it
healthy.
Why Are Probiotics Good At Helping Infant Eczema?
Probiotics are good at helping infant eczema because clinical trials
have shown a significant improvement in infants when the mother has
taken probiotics during pregnancy, whilst breast-feeding or giving them
directly to young children.
Probiotics are better at reducing eczema caused by allergic
reactions.
It is thought that the probiotics help to reduce eczema by improving
the digestions and absorption of food and by supporting the immune
system.
What Dose Of Probiotics Needs To Be Taken To Help With Infant
Eczema?
To help with infant eczema, pregnant or breast-feeding mothers should
take probiotic supplements daily.
To enable the probiotic supplements to pass through your stomach
undigested, make sure the supplements are enteric coated;
Note: probiotic bacteria tend to be fragile.
Heat destroys probiotic bacteria, for this reason, you should never
take probiotic bacteria with hot beverages or food.
So, to sum up...
Probiotics supplements contain a mixture of ‘friendly’ bacteria which
is usually found naturally in the bowel and helps to keep it healthy.
Probiotics are good at reducing infant eczema because they improve
the digestion and absorption of food and support the immune system.
