After much research in the area of food allergies in children, I am developing a theory. It is known that children who do not get to breastfeed as infants for whatever the reason do not get the immune defenses provided by the mother during breastfeeding. This leads to uncommon allergic reactions to the environment around these children in the form of “Leaky Gut Syndrome”, which is thought of as more of an adult problem. When a child cannot process Wheat, Dairy, Gluten and Artificial food dye properly, they present with a host of issues ranging from ADD, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, chronic infections, etc… The normal lining of the digestive track is designed to break food down into small particles, of which the body takes what it needs and filters out the bad stuff. In children who present with allergies to certain foods, the body is not able to filter out the neither bad stuff nor breakdown the good stuff for normal assimilation in to the body. I believe this is why we see so many children with these issues. I have been thinking about why the doctors cannot figure this stuff out (except for the fact they don’t get paid for non medical diagnosis). This may be responsible for why so many people have so many different ideas about what is going on with our children? Some say, childhood inoculations are a bad thing and can cause autism, some say food additives are causing issues. All I know is that something has changed from years ago when these types of diagnosis’s where not prevalent at all. My theory is that maybe, when children did not get the benefit of breastfeeding creating the immune response needed, this allows all our new world environmental ingredients to create issues within our children. Maybe, just maybe, it is all affecting them because of the lack of immune response post birth. This theory would explain why no one can come up with a reasonable explanation. There has to be an underlying factor somewhere that is being missed. It effects some but not other, it effects each in a different way. I would be interested to know how many people that did not get to breastfeed have children with some sort of new age medical diagnosis. I know that as times have changed many have not breastfeed like they did in the past. Just wondering?
