Childhood Allergies

We're launching a study to better understand childhood allergies

Your purchase of the Tiny Health Gut Test may contribute to science on the potential link between the infant (and mom) gut microbiome and the development of allergies. In partnership with Free to Feed, we intend to publish our findings when the study concludes.

Recruitment starts May 2023

For babies ages 0 to 3 months (see criteria) Location: United States

By Kimberley Sukhum, PhD

More than 40% of American school-aged children have at least one chronic health condition

And we think the number is much higher when it comes to babies and toddlers. From recent research we know that there’s an association between the gut microbiome and the progression of atopic march: eczema, food allergies, asthma and allergic rhinitis[2, 3, 4]. However:

• Even though atopic conditions are starting to become more prominent, research is still sparse.
• Even more so when it comes to allergies like cow’s milk protein allergy and sensitivities to breastmilk.
• Overall, more data is needed to develop further key insights, better diagnosis and potential therapeutics.

Track your baby's microbiome development over time

You can learn the most about your baby’s health and protect against chronic conditions by tracking changes on their gut health over their first 1000 days.

We recommend testing at 7 days old, and every 3 months until your baby is 18 months old.
