Hi everyone,

I've recently found some research that indicates taking probiotics (a particular strain of them) during pregnancy can help reduce the likelihood of children developing eczema. There's one called EczemaShield.

Has anyone tried this out and had success?

Do you know of any other research/ articles?

I am really interested in this area as I suffered as a kid to the point where I had to really think carefully if I wanted to risk any chance of inflicting this on my own children. While I'm able to treat myself reasonably well now I want to do all I can to prevent passing this on.
