38 Conclusions Supplementation of probiotics during pregnancy, in breastfeeding women and/or infants reduced the risk of eczema, including atopic eczema, in infants. Our certainty in this evidence is low: risk of bias Inconsistency imprecision of estimated effect use of bodies of indirect evidence. Supplementation of probiotics does not reduce the risk of other allergies in children but we cannot exclude such a possibility. Cuello Garcia CA.

49 GLAD p prebiotics: Infancy The WAO guideline panel suggests prebiotic supplementation in not exclusively breastfed infants, both at high and at low risk for developing allergy (conditional recommendation, low certainty of evidence). Do not use prebiotic supplementation in exclusively breastfed infants (conditional recommendation, low certainty of the evidence). Higher value on possible prevention of allergies and a relatively lower value on additional cost of prebiotic supplementation. Fiocchi A, Pawankar R and the WAO / McMaster working group.

Added benefit from probiotic supplementation in addition to natural probiotics? This research may have an important impact on this recommendation.

Effects of different ways of administration of prebiotics, e.g. as milk hydrolysed formula, dairy supplements, etc. Randomized trials of the different prebiotics (e.g., GOS versus FOS). Impact of sub groups in the effect (if any) of prebiotics on the prevention of allergies, such as: a. Infants at high versus low risk of allergies b. exclusively breastfed versus not exclusively breastfed c. born by caesarean section versus vaginal delivery Large observational studies for detecting rare adverse events Fiocchi A, Pawankar R and the WAO / McMaster working group.
