[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] IgA deficiency and Probiotics

[Church, Joseph]

Colleagues:

I follow a 16yo F with IgA deficiency (IgA repeatedly <7mg/dL), specific antibody deficiency and inflammatory bowel disease.

She and her parents asked if a particular brand of probiotics (25 billion cfu's of various lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) is "safe."

Given her leaky gut and IgA deficiency, I am hesitant to respond in the affirmative.

Any thoughts or experiences you would be willing to share are most welcome.
