Abstract
CROVESY, Louise; GONCALVES, Daniela C and TRIGO, Elke L. Probiotics in allergy treatment: a literature review. Rev Esp Nutr Hum Diet [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.3, pp.293-299. ISSN 2174-5145. https://dx.doi.org/10.14306/renhyd.21.3.361.
Allergy is a exacerbate response of immune system to a triggering element. A probable cause of allergies is gut microbiota composition. It has strong relationship with development of human immune system and this is formed in intrauterine life and early childhood, crucial periods for formation adequate microbiota. In this sense modulation gut microbiota by probiotics could prevent or help in the treatment of allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis and food allergy. Studies published to date are controversial. It is difficult to determine whether the probiotic can be used in the treatment and prevention of allergic diseases.
