Probiotics as treatment for food allergies among pediatric patients: a meta-analysis

ConclusionAnalysis of available evidence shows moderate certainty that the use of probiotics can relieve symptoms of children with cow 's milk allergy. The reduction in certainty is due to imprecise results. Moreover, there is low certainty that probiotics can induce tolerance among children with cow's milk allergy, due to problems of imprecision and attrition bias. In the subgroup analysis,Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG administration likely results in inducing tolerance among infants with suspected cow 's milk allergy. Only studies on CMA were analyzed since no studies were found on probiotics as treatment for other types of food allergy among children. (Source: World Allergy Organization Journal)
