Asthma and Allergies
Sorry, haven't yet written a summary! The abstracts of the reviews below can provide an intro to the topic.
Selected Scientific Literature
Molloy et al., 2013: Review of the links between the gut microbiota and food allergy in children. (full text)
Fooladi et al., 2013: Review of peri-natal effects (delivery mode, infant feeding, maternal probiotics) on the infant microbiome and allergies. (abstract only)
Madan et al, 2012: Review of infant gut microbiome development and how it interacts with the immune system, with consequences for allergies and infecions. (full text)
Wlasiuk and Vercelli, 2012: Review of the effects of early life farm exposures to allergy and atopic disease. (abstract only)
Dicksved et al., 2007: An relatively early but important study linking childhood lifestyle with an altered microbiota. Effects due to different aspects of the 'anthroposophic' lifestyle can't be separated, but a number of those aspects have in other studies been linked to allergy and asthma risks.
