Atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) are common childhood diseases, which may either be interrelated or be the result of skin barrier disruption and gut mucosal dysbiosis. Although some evidence suggests the efficacy of emollients and synbiotics, there is no conclusive evidence on the use of these interventions alone or in combination.
