Yes, and they could be cause by picky eating or by eating Michelle Obama’s crap food diet.
Interesting theory, and plausible. There is some reason all these kids suddenly have every allergy under the sun these day. When I was growing up (yes, anecdotal) I never heard about such allergies, now every third kid has some food malady.
I always fed my kids live yogurt. Especially after antibiotics. None of them have food allergies.
They are accepting Pro-biotics and these regimens are helping many.
I am sure that is true, that antibiotics changed their gut biome. But not only antibiotics - other things do this too, like a change of diet. I always loved and enjoyed macadamia nuts my entire life. We used to have a place in Hawaii.
After going fairly paleo and primal for about three years, all of a sudden I could no longer eat macadamia nuts. I only tried it twice, because the reaction was so severe. My lips swelled, I got dizzy and nauseous, I could barely walk, and felt very ill. I thought the first time that it was THAT BATCH of nuts. Tried it one more time with a bag someone else was eating with no ill effects, and by the second nut all the symptoms returned. My doctor toLd me my reaction was on my way to anaphylactic and I should be careful to avoid macadamias from now on. :(
It’s all in the gut bacteria. Different ones do different things. Most of us IS NOT US.
Isn’t this something normal people who care about these issues have known for years?
Allowing young kids to play outside and get dirty is going to be a tough sell to germaphobic helicopter moms who also can now fear CPS will arrest them for letting kids play outside.
Maybe but most likely not playing outside in the sunshine and eating mud pies and getting bumps and bruises sliding into home on the empty lot next door and playing with your flea ridden dog. Being out in nature helps build immunities, strenghtens the body, and helps them from becoming mama's boys and girly men.
Kids don’t play in dirt anymore. Those that do have far less “allergies”.
I say it’s because parents have been trying to put their babies into ‘plastic bubbles’ and tried to limit exposure to germs.
