Does your child struggle with food allergies AND asthma? Their may be a connection.

In a recent study published in Lancet Child & Adoles, RL Peters in Melbourne, Australia and his team examined 3,233 children, testing them for food allergies at age one and re evaluating their health at six.

"The research found that children who had a food allergy at age one showed reduced lung function by age six. Interestingly, a transient (temporary) egg allergy was associated with reduced lung function compared with children who never had an egg allergy, whereas a persistent egg allergy was not. Both temporary and persistent peanut allergy, as well as late-onset peanut allergy, were associated with reduced lung function."

Nearly 14% of the children studied had been diagnosed with the likelihood of developing asthma by age six. In particular, persistent and late-onset peanut allergy correlated with a higher risk.

This research could potentially change the way food allergies are addressed in infants. Preventing allergies may improve respiratory health in children.

"It is crucial to remember that aluminum hydroxide is used to reliably and routinely induce immune-dysfunction-related conditions in mice and rats, including food allergies, as well as autoimmune disorders including Sjogren’s syndrome, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and others."

Food allergies in infancy do not confirm that your child will develop asthma later in life, this may just be one of the biomarkers pediatricians need to begin to predict which children might suffer more than others due to aluminum hydroxide in vaccines.

It is important to keep up with medical check-ups to monitor their allergy and assess their lung health and potential asthma risk - and, of course, talk with your doctor about the perils of aluminum hydroxide.

At Second Nature Care, Dr. Guggenheim tests for Allergies, Asthma and Aluminum.

Once allergens are diagnosed, we create an emergency treatment plan for acute episodes after accidental exposures. If an infant presents with food allergy symptoms during exclusive breastfeeding then mom has to follow a maternal elimination diet and correct her underlying dysbiosis of her intestinal microbiome.
