After seeing incredible results with the probiotic treatment I used for my baby, I couldn’t help but share my success with my sister, who had been struggling with a similar issue in her two children. Her kids, aged 2.5 and 4.5 at the time, had been suffering from severe atopic dermatitis (AD) for years.

If you’re familiar with the condition, you know it can be unbearable—large red patches on the creases of their arms and legs that itched so badly they couldn’t sleep properly. The younger one would scratch until she bled.

We had tried everything: visits to top dermatologists in Munich, homoeopathy, and various topical treatments. While cortisone creams provided short-term relief, they created a vicious cycle, requiring stronger and more frequent applications. Worse, the condition kept coming back with the same intensity, leaving us feeling desperate.

Given my positive experience with StartLife probiotics, I extensively researched the gut-skin connection and how gut flora (dysbiosis) imbalances can exacerbate skin conditions like AD. I suspected that the gut flora in my sister’s children was severely out of balance, as they exhibited other telltale symptoms of dysbiosis, including recurring infections and colds, constant runny nose during the winter months and some food intolerances.

I proposed a course of treatment using probiotics designed for toddlers aged 1-3, tailored to their needs. Understandably, my sister was sceptical after the countless treatments they had already tried. But we were both amazed when, by the end of the first course, we noticed a significant reduction in the severity of their symptoms. The itching subsided, and the red patches began to fade.

For the older child, whose condition was more severe, it was recommended to follow up with two consecutive courses of probiotics and supplement the treatment with Inulin for an additional three months to restore the balance in their gut fully. It was a slow but steady process, and after completing the treatment, both children’s atopic dermatitis disappeared entirely—and to our great surprise, it has never returned. Their immune systems are now stronger, and overall, they are healthier than ever.

Since then, probiotics have become a staple in our family’s health routine. We now use them after illnesses, during periods of high stress, poor diet, or simply as a preventive measure at least once a year, ensuring that we maintain a healthy gut flora balance.

The transformation I saw in my sister’s children reaffirmed the incredible potential of StartLife probiotic treatments. I’m so grateful we found this solution—it changed their lives.
