Understanding Synbiotics in the Management of Cow’s Milk Allergy (CMA)

In this case presentation, Dr. Catalina Ortiz Piedrahita, MD, MSc, Paediatric Gastroenterologist from Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital (Medellín, Colombia) and Hospital Sant Joan de Déu (Barcelona, Spain), discusses the real-life case of an infant with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMA). Through this practical session, she explains how an extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) with synbiotics can positively influence symptom resolution, microbiota balance, and overall quality of life for both infants and caregivers.

Why This Resource Matters for Healthcare Professionals

This educational session provides valuable clinical perspectives for paediatricians, gastroenterologists, and dietitians involved in allergy management. You will learn to:

• Identify key red flags in CMA presentation.
• Apply evidence-based management using EHF with synbiotics.
• Understand microbiota modulation and its link to immune and skin health.
• Appreciate real-world outcomes, including reduced hospital visits, improved growth, and caregiver satisfaction.

By exploring this case, you will gain a clear understanding of how synbiotics support tolerance acquisition, reduce dysbiosis, and enhance clinical outcomes in infants with CMA.
