Probiotics for children - any recommendations, esp related to eczema and allergies


Recommended Posts

Anyone knowledgeable on probiotics? I have a (nearly) 4 year old with allergies and eczema, and I am trying to research the best ones to choose. Lactobacillus rhamnosus seems to have worked in a recent study, helping kids overcome peanut allergy, but seems impossible to find a brand with that strain, so I think I must be missing something. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jan/28/peanut-allergy-researchers-say-they-may-have-found-key-to-a-cure


Up to now he has a probiotic kids actimel, topped up with 1/4 tsp of Kidzhealth probiotic powder I bought at the local chemist (as opposed to one specifically for his needs).


If anyone has any pointers that would be great.

Hi,


My partner uses a company called Optibac, she says there is a children's section that might be worth looking into. I will stick the link in below to have a look at.

I give my kids Udo's Choice Infant but for general well-being rather than anything specific, so not sure about specific strains to combat eczema. The health food shop on Lordship Lane stocks it and a few other brands.

Biogaia is great, look online. I used for colic etc (life changing) but I thinkit's the same one as you mentioned. Also great to give, a few tasteless drops and has vit D in too. Good luck :0)

My Mum is a nutritional Therapist and swears by Biocare vitamins and supplements. We have a children's probiotic in the range that our little ones love. Not sure if it has what you're looking for but all the best.

We use probiotics with our little one for the same reasons - allergies and eczema. We found Solgar ABCdophilis had L rhamnosus in its mix of probiotics. I've also started using Proven probiotics with multivitamins which has the combination of probiotics which was used in the Swansea Baby trial http://www.lab4probiotics.co.uk/the-swansea-baby-trial/


No miraculous rollback of her allergies but she's flourishing otherwise. Her eczema is much, much better but this may be down to avoiding the foods she's allergic to rather than the effect of the probiotics.

    • "attack on the tax", I posted a link, how was that an attack? I didn't write the article, so how was that an attack on the proposed tax?  Are you now saying what can and cannot be posted, when did you become Admin(NOT). 
    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that
