Yep. C-sections and infant formula are the main culprits.
Yogurt and breast milk...
Study is 412 infants.....much to small to derive such a conclusion....
I think kids are kept too clean too. Hand sanitizers, wipes on everything, no roughhousing in the grass, no playing in mud, no pets, sterilized environments. They never have a chance to build up an immune system.
Maybe this isn’t true, but I read it several years ago. I’ve never had kids, so am definitely not an expert.
I read that babies born naturally are healthier than babies via c-sections. The reason is that there’s something “down there” where the mother’s poop has been. And during birth that gives the baby some kind of immunity or something.
Apologies if not true or too gross.
Too clean is my thought too. Kids don’t wipe out on their bikes in the dirt and streets like we did when we were young. When my son joined the army he heard a lot of the young recruits had such low bone density that they got hurt passing basic training. Grew up on their butts playing video games and never developed bone strength.
We have a friend who has to have a c-section because she had to have one with her first baby. They’re going to deliver him by the end of the week, because he’s already 8 pounds, and mama’s not a big person and she’s been miserable for weeks. My daughter had to have a c-section because her baby had a shortened umbilical cord and the cord was wrapped around his neck. He has had several respiratory flare ups and is deaf in one ear, probably from laying on that side in the womb for 9 months. Thankfully, there’s nothing wrong with his brain; he’s smart as a whip! Usually, c sections are done because it’s required.
The question is whether it would work for adults.
When I was a kid with those problems, NOBODY was talking about the gut or probiotics.
And C-sections often can’t be helped.
Needing to use formula rarely can’t be helped. There are the occasional reports of women who, for some reason, cannot produce breast milk, which must be heart breaking for them, because they clearly want to and tried before they realized they can’t.
Yup.
A adequate exposure to dirt and germs is critical to training the immune system properly.
THE NEVER ENDING “VACCINATIONS” A KID GETS ARE NOT HELPFUL
That’s correct. And the first breast milk is called colostrum. Colostrum has many prebiotic and immune system benefits. Children not fed mother’s milk have more health problems. Some even think autism is correlated with children not having been breast fed. So natural birth and natural nutrition has huge benefits for the future health of babies.
I also wonder if the probiotic bugs don’t need occasional refreshing, especially after a course of antibiotics. I take kefir regularly, seems to help.
I always buy only top-quality infant guts, loaded with the "right" kind of bacteria.
A little vinegar and pepper and - Voilà!
Regards,
“And the first breast milk is called colostrum.”
Right. We saw an OLD Law & Order episode just last night where the colostrum was discussed at length.
So what’s the solution?
In this case, there is only insight as to how to prevent it.
If your child needed a C-section and was given antibiotics in the first two years of life, they are at a higher risk for permanently having issues, due to genetic changes made by age two.
My GI doctor told me that probiotics can help but need to be kept up because if you don’t, your system will eventually revert to it’s original state, (I’m guessing probably what you developed as a baby)
