Interesting pieces..
"Around 60% of the studies show a favourable effect decreasing the risk of eczema during the first years of life."
"A new study in the June 2013 issue of Gastroenterology provides the first evidence in humans that probiotics in the diet can modulate brain activity. In a proof-of-concept study using functional MRI, researchers found that women who regularly consumed probiotic-containing yogurt showed altered activity of brain regions that control central processing of emotion and sensation.

Lots of great information in this article, I believe they need to examine the manufacturing of the probiotic that was used, how many cultures were live, and what cultures were included in the specific probiotic that was used. -- I find that point missing in all the studies.
either way, a probiotic will help with absorption of nutrients and aid in decreasing gas, improving digestion.. If your diet is clean, you probably wont notice much.
