Allergies are hypersensitive responses of the immune system to substances known as allergens, which can include pollen, dust, food, and pet dander. Research suggests that a healthy gut microbiome, supported by adequate probiotic levels, may play a significant role in regulating immune responses and reducing the risk of developing allergies.

Signs and Symptoms:

  • Sneezing and nasal congestion (hay fever)
  • Itchy or watery eyes
  • Skin rashes or hives
  • Digestive issues (in food allergies)

Causes:
A combination of genetic and environmental factors can lead to allergies. An imbalance in gut bacteria (dysbiosis) may contribute to increased allergy susceptibility by affecting immune system regulation.

Probiotics and Allergies:
Incorporating probiotics into the diet may help improve gut health and potentially reduce the severity of allergic reactions by promoting a balanced immune response and decreasing inflammation.

Conclusion:
Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome through probiotics can be beneficial in managing allergies and supporting overall immune function.
