Abstract

Purpose of Review

The development of allergic disease is shaped by genetics and the environment, including diet. Many studies suggest a role for maternal diet during pregnancy. In this article, we discuss potential mechanisms by which specific nutrients, particular foods, and dietary patterns may influence allergic disease development and review studies examining the relationship between prenatal diet and the risk of childhood allergy.

Recent Findings

The combination of in utero exposures and genetic predisposition may contribute to the development of allergic disease by altering immune and organ development. Inflammation predominates in the first and third trimesters whereas the second trimester is characterized by anti-inflammatory and Th2 immune responses. Maternal dietary exposures during pregnancy may interact with inherited genetic risk factors influence immune system development.

Summary

There are varied results regarding the impact of maternal prenatal diet on the development of childhood allergies. Well-designed randomized controlled studies are needed to clarify this area.

Peanut, milk, and wheat intake during pregnancy is associated with reduced allergy and asthma in children. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2014;133(5):1373–82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2013.11.040. This study of 1277 mother-child pairs from a US prebirth cohort unselected for any disease with diet assessed during the 1 st and 2 nd trimesters of pregnancy found that higher maternal peanut intake (each additional z score) during the first trimester was associated with 47% reduced odds of peanut allergy reaction in children at school age (mean age, 7.9 years) (OR 0.53, 95%CI 0.30-0.94). Higher milk and wheat intake during pregnancy were also associated with reduced asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.
