What if one natural and free intervention at birth could help prevent food allergies? Infants who had compromised #colostrum intake, due to formula supplements, had 5x higher risk of #peanutallergy and 11x higher risk of multiple #foodallergies.

#Pregnancy and #lactation - a unique time of tissue development in adult life! This paper shows how the maternal #gutepithelium expands during pregnancy and lactation, and how this is necessary for the healthy development of the offspring after birth.

Maternal gut microbiota influence stem cell function in offspring
”the maternal microbiome and offspring’s stem cells are bona fide candidates that seem to play central roles governing early life development”

Maternal gut microbiota influence stem cell function in offspring
Dang et al. demonstrate that maternal gut microbiota during pregnancy program the intestinal and neuronal stem cell characteristics of offspring. This crosstalk between maternal microbiota and fetal stem cells, mediated by circulating metabolites, impacts offspring development, long-term health, behavior, and disease recovery.
