益生菌系列二之益生菌的臨床報告

by 1 Comment

益生菌probiotics，在醫學期刊有許多豐富的資料，我們如果在ＭＥＤＬＩＮＥ上打入”probiotics”一共有3569篇文章，多麼驚人的數字，我沒時間看．．．．．

如果是probiotics+allergy 一共有255篇，(probiotics+urticaria也有三篇)，probiotics+atopic也有121篇，可見益生菌在治療過敏或者是異位性皮膚炎，有一定的效果。

先找一篇2007年五月報告發表在The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology

2007 May;119(5):1174-80. Epub 2007 Mar 8.
Probiotics in prevention of IgE-associated eczema: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND: An altered microbial exposure may underlie the increase of allergic diseases in affluent societies. Probiotics may alleviate and even prevent eczema in infants. OBJECTIVE: To prevent eczema and sensitization in infants with a family history of allergic disease by oral supplementation with the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri. METHODS: Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, which comprised 232 families with allergic disease, of whom 188 completed the study. The mothers received L reuteri ATCC 55730 (1 x 10(8) colony forming units) daily from gestational week 36 until delivery. Their babies then continued with the same product from birth until 12 months of age and were followed up for another year. Primary outcome was allergic disease, with or without positive skin prick test or circulating IgE to food allergens. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of eczema was similar, 36% in the treated versus 34% in the placebo group. The L reuteri group had less IgE-associated eczema during the second year, 8% versus 20% (P = .02), however. Skin prick test reactivity was also less common in the treated than in the placebo group, significantly so for infants with mothers with allergies, 14% versus 31% (P = .02). Wheeze and other potentially allergic diseases were not affected. CONCLUSION: Although a preventive effect of probiotics on infant eczema was not confirmed, the treated infants had less IgE-associated eczema at 2 years of age and therefore possibly run a reduced risk to develop later respiratory allergic disease. CLINICAL IMPLICATION: Probiotics may reduce the incidence of IgE-associated eczema in infancy.

益生菌系列一之益生菌的簡介

過敏的人口非常多，所以常常有客人到店裡劈頭就要買益生菌，但是我一聽就知道他們把益生菌當成一種品牌了，就跟你說要吃生力麵一樣，其實你是要吃”泡麵”，就像在美國影印不是用copy這個單字而是用Xerox，這是全錄的公司名字，因為影印機是他們發明的，而且因為使用太多，所以成為影印的代名詞；那益生菌到底是什麼意思呢??最簡單的說法就是對人類有益處的菌，相對於我們以前的想法，好像只要是細菌就是有害的。如果廣義的解釋就是”可在人類腸道內繁殖且不具 致病性，反而對人類健康有所助益的細菌”，根據我的了解，市面上最早開始大量而且廣泛的使用益生菌這個名詞，是從喝優酪乳開始，強調裡面有很多好的乳酸菌，就開始有了”益生菌”這個名詞，但是後來很多的公司就把乳酸菌類的製品一股腦也用益生菌來命名，讓益生菌慢慢開始被濫用，(有點類似生化科技這個字)，不過市面上現在被公認比較算是益生菌的始祖是樂亦康，也就是Lp33，至於怎麼叫做LP33呢??不是外交部常用的PLP喲,LP是Lactobacillus paracasei的縮寫，後面的33是代表LP菌種第33株的意思!!如果有其他的產品只說添加LP菌，而不是註明Lp33，是不能說是益生菌的。

我記得這產品剛上市的時候，根本沒有人會買，因為它的價錢實在太貴了，大人一天得花上將近一百元，又要放在冰箱裡面，所以跟本沒有人要買，不過後來統一居然買了這個菌種放入優酪乳裡面，推出市面；才慢慢讓這個產品轟動武林，也連帶著開始有假貨出現!!!甚至是贓貨!!

就跟歌星查盜版一樣，如果抓不到盜版那心情可真糟，因為表示不夠紅，同樣的如果產品出現了假貨，公司雖然煩惱但是也表示這產品夠紅!!
