Eating Peanuts While Pregnant May Raise Child's Allergy Risks

MONDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Women who eat peanuts during pregnancy
may be putting their babies at increased risk for peanut allergy, a new
study suggests.
U.S. researchers looked at 503 infants, aged 3 months to 15 months, with
suspected egg or milk allergies, or with the skin disorder eczema and
positive allergy tests to milk or egg. These factors are associated with
increased risk of peanut allergy, but none of the infants in the study had
been diagnosed with peanut allergy.
Blood tests revealed that 140 of the infants had strong sensitivity to
peanuts. Mothers' consumption of peanuts during pregnancy was a strong
predictor of peanut sensitivity in the infants, the researchers reported in
the Nov. 1 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
"Researchers in recent years have been uncertain about the role of peanut
consumption during pregnancy on the risk of peanut allergy in infants. While
our study does not definitively indicate that pregnant women should not eat
peanut products during pregnancy, it highlights the need for further
research in order to make recommendations about dietary restrictions," study
leader Dr. Scott H. Sicherer, a professor of pediatrics at Jaffe Food
Allergy Institute at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City,
said in a journal news release.
Sicherer and his colleagues recommended controlled, interventional studies
to further explore their findings.
"Peanut allergy is serious, usually persistent, potentially fatal, and
appears to be increasing in prevalence," Sicherer said.
