A member asked:
Is it safe for me to drink kefir, a probiotic drink, even if i have eczema? i would like to improve gut health, as well as my acid reflux?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably. If your eczema has a food allergy component, something in the product may aggravate it. Otherwise it is a generally safe product. Probiotics are just "safe" germ colonies that behave nicely in the gut and can become well established enough to crowd out some bad acting germs.
