Probiotics and probiotic yogurt formulations have been used in clinical studies aimed at treating AAD. In this review, we describe the summary of a number of clinical research studies utilising probiotics and yogurt specifically for treating AAD in children. A detailed evaluation of study design, methodology, data analysis and interpretation is carried out to describe the merits and limitations of such studies. Overall, there is a clear evidence for the beneficial effects of specific probiotics and yogurt in AAD in children.
