Overview

Children’s allergies are a serious issue: more than 50 million children in the US have allergies, or one in every 13 kids / 2 kids out of every school classroom.  Food allergies in kids increased by 50% between 1997 and 2011. Between 1997 and 2008, peanut allergies in kids tripled. Food allergy symptoms can be life-threatening: Medical procedures to treat anaphylaxis resulting from food allergy increased by 380 percent between 2007 and 2016. Every 3 minutes in the US, a patient is admitted to the hospital for an allergic reaction. A uniquely science-backed plan for preventing allergies: online advice for preventing allergies during pregnancy and after birth is often mired in pseudo-science and anecdotal evidence.

The Healthy Baby Gut Guide includes a meal plan to help parents navigate this phase. The author is a leading gastroenterologist: Dr. Vincent Ho is a clinical academic gastroenterologist and a practising gastroenterologist.
