Probiotics & Prebiotics Help Eczema

When sixty kids with moderate to severe eczema were given 25mg of probiotics and 475mg of FOS (a prebiotic) twice a day for eight weeks, their eczema got significantly better. . . .

Their eczema severity scores dropped by 50%, and they needed to take significantly less eczema medication.
