Clostridium butyricum inhibits the development of intestinal anaphylaxis. Diarrhea occurrence, diarrhea scores (a), anaphylactic response, anaphylactic score (b) and levels of mMCP-1 (c) were monitored. Male BALB/c mice were given NS or sensitized/challenged with BLG ± treatment with C. butyricum. Con, n = 10 for the control group; FA, n = 10 for the food allergy group; Pre, n = 10 for the preventive group; and Tre, n = 10 for the treated group. Results are shown as means ± SEMs. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus the control group, and ^# P < 0.05, ^## P < 0.01, ^### P < 0.001 versus the food allergy group
