Evolutive Study of Dietary Aspects and Intestinal Microbiota of Pediatric Cohort with Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the most common food allergies in the pediatric population is allergy to cow's milk protein (CMPA). Treatment consists of avoiding cow's milk proteins in lactating mothers and/or using therapeutic formulas based on hydrolysates or vegetable formulas. In infants with CMPA at diagnosis, a different gut microbial profile has been found compared to healthy children, with a reduction in beneficial bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the gut microbiota profile and its metabolites, dietary patterns and anthropometric variables in a pediatric cohort with CMPA after six months on a restrictive diet compared to healthy controls.

Methods

In total, 21 patients diagnosed with CMPA and a control group of 24 healthy infants participated in this stud
