Fermented formula has the potential to reduce some , albeit not well-defined , digestive symptoms .
Current evidence does not support the use of fermented formula for preventing cow ’s milk allergy .
Conclusion : Limited available evidence suggests that the use of fermented infant formula , compared with the use of st and ard infant formula , does not offer clear additional benefits , although some benefit on gastrointestinal symptoms can not be excluded .

Abstract Fermented formulas , i.e. , those fermented with lactic acid-producing bacteria during the production process and not containing significant amounts of viable bacteria in the final product , are widely available in many countries .
Our aim was to systematic ally review published evidence related to the safety and health effects of the administration of fermented infant formulas compared with st and ard infant formulas .
Immunomodulatory effects of the intake of fermented milk with Lactobacillus casei DN114001 in lactating mothers and their children.
The healthy action of probiotics is not only due to their nutritional properties and their influence on the gastrointestinal environment , but also to their action on the immune system . The aim of the present study was to determine if 6 weeks of probiotic intake would be able to modulate the immune system in women who had recently delivered and were breast-feeding . The design consisted of a r and omised , controlled and double-blind nutritional intervention study with parallel groups with a sample size of 104 women . The main variable is the T helper type 1/T helper type 2 ( Th1/Th2 ) profile determined by measuring interferon-gamma ( Th1 ) and IL-4 ( Th2 ) values in peripheral blood by flow cytometry . The modifications of cytokines were evaluated in maternal milk by cytometric bead array in a flow cytometer and ELISA at three stages of breast-feeding : colostrum , early milk ( 10 d ) and mature milk ( 45 d ) . Additionally , the anthropometry and infectious and allergic episodes in the newborn were followed up throughout the first 6 months of life . After the consumption of milk fermented with Lactobacillus casei during the puerperium , we observed a nonsignificant increase in T and B lymphocytes and a significant increase in natural killer cells . A decrease in the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha in maternal milk and fewer gastrointestinal disturbances were also observed in the breast-fed child of the mothers who consumed L. casei . The intake of milk fermented with L. casei during the lactation period modestly contributes to the modulation of the mother 's immunological response after delivery and decreases the incidence of gastrointestinal episodes in the breast-fed child
