Hello,

I'm just reviewing some posts from last month and was very interested in 
Jennifer's comments about digestive enzymes and probiotics to improve Mom's 
gut health as a way to reduce the incidence of allergies in baby.  I've worked 
with several allergic babies over the years.  It can be so disheartening to see 
Mom working through elimination diets and baby's symptoms not improving.  
Mostly I'm seeing exzema and irritable babies who don't seem to sleep much as 
outword signs.  I would be very interested in hearing other's experiences of 
improving allergic symptoms in babies by improving Mother's gut health.  The 
theory seems to be that the offending proteins are less likely to pass through 
Mother's intestines and to get into her milk if her gut is healthy.  Are there 
studies or research papers to support this?  What strains of probiotics were 
most helpfull?  What strength or dosage of digestive enzymes? Are these 
available at most healthfood stores?  By perscription?  Very curious to know 
more.
