Could a probiotic ease gut troubles in babies with food allergies?
NCT ID NCT05793112
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a probiotic called INF108F in 20 breastfed infants with a food allergy that causes blood in their stool. The goal was to see if the probiotic could improve the balance of gut bacteria and reduce symptoms like reflux and fussiness. While the treatment aims to control the condition, it is not a cure and ongoing management may still be needed.
