Food Intolerances
Studies show that Lactobacillus Rhamnossus LGG improves food allergy tolerance. Acquisition of tolerance was evaluated by double blind placebo controlled oral food challenge following 12 months of treatment. In total, 5 out of 12 (42%) LGG treated infants developed tolerance to cow’s milk proteins, whereas all (7/7) of the untreated infants remained allergic.
How does LGG help ???
- Inhibits pathogens attaching to the gut wall
- Inhibits fungal growth
- Encourages growth of Butyrate producing bacteria. Butyrate is the preferred energy source for colonocytes and is often considered a sensor of intestinal health.
- It reverses the increased intestinal permeability induced by cow’s milk in young rats and promotes intestinal barrier function in children with food allergy
