Probiotic therapy is one of the popular and effective adjunct treatments for allergies both domestically and internationally. It alleviates allergies by regulating the body’s immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, achieving the goal of immunotherapy.

The incidence of food-induced intestinal allergy is higher in infants and children compared to adults. Most patients with food-induced intestinal allergy exhibit a range of symptoms including respiratory issues such as rhinitis and asthma; skin reactions such as eczema and dark circles under the eyes; gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation; neurological symptoms such as decreased memory, insomnia, lack of concentration, mood swings and depression; additionally, there may be manifestations of obesity, hypertension, teeth grinding and even an increased risk of cancer.

Allergies are typically associated with elevated levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE).

Within the intestinal immune system, there exists a mechanism known as “immune tolerance,” which can suppress the unnecessary production of excessive immunoglobulin E (IgE) or immunoglobulin G (IgG) by the immune system, thereby preventing allergic reactions to food components. However, allergic individuals often experience issues with this “immune tolerance” mechanism, leading to an overproduction of IgE in the intestinal immune system when they consume specific foods, resulting in attacks on these food components and subsequent allergic symptoms.

Some studies suggest that allergic individuals have lower levels of probiotics in their intestines. Therefore, increasing probiotics that help regulate allergic disposition may help alleviate allergy symptoms.

However, restoring IgE levels to normal typically requires a lengthy process. This includes avoiding contact with allergens while also supplementing with specific probiotics over the long term. Thus, individuals with allergic tendencies may need to continue supplementing with DS Pre & Probiotics Fibre until IgE levels reach normalcy.

Allergic rhinitis is often not directly caused by issues within the nasal cavity but is frequently associated with dysfunctions in the gut. Modern lifestyles can adversely affect gut function, leading to compromised immune systems, which in turn can impact the normal function of nasal mucosa, triggering symptoms such as nasal allergies.

To restore immune function in the gut, one may consider ingesting probiotics to eliminate toxins from the intestines, thereby boosting immunity and effectively improving symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

While the exact causes of psoriasis are relatively complex, many patients may be linked to unhealthy dietary habits which can disrupt gut function and lead to immune system misfires. These misfires allow harmful bacteria to proliferate while drastically reducing the quantity and variety of beneficial bacteria. Increasing evidence suggests that imbalances in the gut microbiota or gastrointestinal dysbiosis may contribute to the onset of psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions.

The human intestinal immune system accounts for 70% of the body’s immune system, and the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in immune and metabolic processes. Therefore, probiotics can serve as an important adjunct therapy for improving psoriasis by regulating the balance of the human microbiota, enhancing immunity, and helping alleviate the discomfort and embarrassing symptoms associated with psoriasis.
