Dairy Allergy, Probiotics & Peanut Patch

10/7/2016:  Infants Dairy Allergy and Probiotics

Probiotics and prebiotics are important for digestion and are natively part of breastmilk.  But forumla-fed infants may need more to help not only with including distress (crying), eczema, diarrhea, abdominal pain, colic, vomiting but also the health of the gut and overall immune system. [1]

10/26/2016:  Peanut Patch Improves 36% Over Placebo Group

A study using Viaskin Peanut patch on the skin appears to improve tolerance to peanuts especially for ages 4-11 by 36%.  It was found the placebo group had a 12% improvement, but the patched group had a 46 to 48% improvement and was able to tolerate 10 times more peanut after one year. [2]

Vaccinations Trigger Allergens

9/17/2016:  Vaccinations Trigger Allergens

The CDC now agrees with 1913, Nobel Prize-winning French physiologist Charles Richet who discovered that any proteins which are injected into the bloodstream will result in the development of an allergy to that protein.  Apparently our vaccines contain proteins such as casein, eggs and yeast, which cause food allergies.[1]

9/25/2016:  Dairy Allergy Probiotics

A study with about 220 children showed that when they had the probiotics called 'Clostridia' and 'Frimicutes' in their digestive tract they were more likely to outgrow the dairy allergy over several years. [Oddly additional research indicates these strains are highly toxic so physican oversight should be had.]  A similar study indicated that antibiotics under the age of 1 can increase the chance of having food allergies.[2]

IBS, Prebiotics and Allergies

11/6/2015:  Prebiotics Can Prevent Allergies

Prebiotics stimulate the growth of bacteria in the intestine. Antoine Magnan, researcher at France's Inserm research institute concluded that, "Adding prebiotics thus considerably reduced the severity of the allergies [in mice]."  [1]

11/12/2015:  IBS and Allergies Are Linked

The Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology summarized the results of two studies that both concluded that food allergies and related genes increase the chances of having IBS.  Dr. Antonio Carroccio, Ospedale Civili Riuniti in Italy, states, the link between IBS and having genes that raise your risk of getting certain allergies is well known and real.
