The custom clearance of pro- and prebiotics in allergy prevention

Although allergy was considered a "white elephant" in the previous century,1 it currently affects large strata of the population, not only in the industrialized world but also with an increasing incidence in emerging countries. After the increase in respiratory allergy from 1960 through 1990, there has been a remarkable increase in food allergy, which has reached epidemic proportions.2 Australian data have indicated that more than 10% of 1-year-old infants in the 2010s have challenge-proved immunoglobulin A-mediated food allergy to one of the common allergenic foods of infancy, with sensitization reported at 8.9% for peanut, 16.5% for egg white, and 5.6% for cow's milk.
