Gut health linked to childhood allergies, study finds

A study published in Nature Communications suggests that childhood allergies, including eczema, hay fever, asthma, and food allergies, may be caused by disorders in the gut bacteria. Researchers found that all four conditions share a common cause, which is a breakdown in the ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and archaea in the intestine, leading to compromised gut lining and heightened inflammation. The study also found that antibiotic usage in the first year of life increases the risk of later allergic disorders, while breastfeeding for the first six months is protective. Developing therapies that target gut bacteria interactions during infancy may prevent the development of childhood allergies.

Unveiling the Shared Source of Childhood Allergies

A study led by researchers at the University of British Columbia and BC Children's Hospital has found that several major childhood allergies, including eczema, asthma, food allergy, and hay fever, may have a common origin in the gut microbiome. The study examined the gut microbiota of 1,115 children from birth to age five and identified a bacterial signature associated with the development of these allergies. Factors such as antibiotic usage in the first year of life were found to increase the risk of allergies, while breastfeeding for the first six months was protective. The findings could lead to methods of predicting and preventing childhood allergies.

Gut Microbiota: The Common Origin of Childhood Allergies

A study led by researchers at the University of British Columbia and BC Children's Hospital has found that major childhood allergies, including eczema, asthma, food allergies, and hay fever, may originate from an imbalanced gut microbiota. The study identified a bacterial signature associated with the development of these allergies and highlighted factors such as antibiotic use in infancy and breastfeeding that influence the gut microbiota balance. The findings could lead to the development of treatments that restore microbiota balance and potentially prevent allergies from developing in children.
