Nutrition and Atopic Dermatitis: What’s the Evidence?
Course Overview

What You'll Learn
The pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is a combination of an impaired skin barrier, inflammation/immune dysfunction, and environmental triggers. Young children can develop what is known as the “atopic march”, which is the development of food allergies, allergic rhinitis, and asthma in children with atopic dermatitis. The role of diet in AD has become an increasingly popular topic as patients try to reduce their exposures to medications. Here, we evaluate the evidence for the role of diet, including elimination diets, and determine if food allergies have a role in atopic dermatitis.
Learning Objectives
- Recall the evidence for the connection between food sensitivities and atopic dermatitis
- Appraise the evidence for the use of probiotics and the reduction in risk for atopic dermatitis and its symptoms
