Milk-Free diet may boost gut defenses in allergic infants
NCT ID NCT07242950
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 34 breastfed infants under 6 months old with cow's milk protein allergy. Researchers wanted to see if a cow's milk elimination diet for mothers and babies could improve symptoms, growth, and gut immune markers like MUC2 and sIgA. They collected stool samples and tracked symptoms over time. The study is complete and observational, meaning it observes effects without testing a new drug.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand how diet changes improve gut health and symptoms in infants with cow's milk allergy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed observational study with only 34 infants, so results may not apply to all babies. It does not test a new treatment.

Who is studied
The study included breastfed babies under 26 weeks of age who were diagnosed with new non-IgE-mediated CMPA by an allergist, had an elimination diet, and applied to two hospitals designated in Türkiye. Infants and their mothers without allergies or atopic diseases, similar in age and gender, were in the control group.
