Study of the Initiation of Complementary Feeding With a Whole Grain, Gluten-containing Infant Cereal and PROBIOtics to Evaluate Digestive TOLERAance and Immuno-inflammatory Response at the Intestinal Level.
Study of the Initiation of Complementary Feeding With a Whole Grain, Gluten-containing Infant Cereal and PROBIOtics to Evaluate Digestive TOLERAance and Immuno-inflammatory Response at the Intestinal Level.
This study will assess the development of gastrointestinal health in terms of digestive tolerability and immune-inflammatory response at the intestinal level comparing a conventional gluten-free cereal with a new cereal with prebiotics, probiotics and a very moderate amount of gluten. These are products adapted to infant feeding since 4 Months.
In 2008 the ESPGHAN recommended not to give gluten cereals before 4 months but not after 7 months. Although the introduction of gluten in this window was linked to a posible preventive effect on celiac disease, the truth is that it has not been demonstrated. In any case, high exposures to gluten since the 4 months have been associated with a higher incidence of celiac disease and current recommendations propose moderate and progressive exposure to gluten between 4 and 6 months old.
