In Part II of his presentation, Dr. W. Allan Walker discusses certain disease states such as atopic disease, inflammatory bowel disease and necrotizing enterocolitis which can result when abnormal bacterial-epithelial 'crosstalk' occurs. He presents new observations with respect to the effect probiotics have on gut barrier function and mucus release and uses recent studies to show the basis for using probiotics when treating intestinal disease.
