Abstract

The prevalence of allergic diseases has been rising, paralleling lifestyle changes and environmental exposures that have altered human microbiome composition. This review article examines the intricate relationship between the gut microbiome and allergic diseases, emphasizing the potential of fecal microbiota transplantation as a promising novel treatment approach. It explains how reduced microbial exposure in modern societies contributes to immune dysregulation and the increasing incidence of allergies. The discussion also addresses immune homeostasis and its modulation by the gut microbiome, highlighting the shift from eubiosis to dysbiosis in allergic conditions. Furthermore, this article reviews existing studies and emerging research on the role of fecal microbiota transplantation in restoring microbial balance, providing insights into its mechanisms, efficacy, and safety.
