Fiber
For fiber, Matano et al.53 noted that in Japanese adults on antihistamines with poor control of their chronic urticaria, total fiber intake was not significantly associated with UCT score, although urticaria patients had significantly higher fiber intake than controls (p=0.01). A review paper by Pretorius et al. 49 noted that higher maternal intakes of resistant starch were associated with higher odds of parent reported eczema (aOR 1.27 95% CI 1.09, 1.49, p < 0.01), doctor diagnosed eczema (aOR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01, 1.41, p = 0.04), and doctor diagnosed eczema in non-sensitized infants (aOR 1.29, 95% CI 1.06, 1.57, p = 0.01). Higher maternal intake of fiber from green vegetables was associated with higher odds of doctor diagnosed eczema in the infant (aOR 1.32, 95% CI 1.06, 1.64, p = 0.01), and also in non-sensitized infants (aOR 1.36, 95% CI 1.04, 1.79, p = 0.03).
