Background Gut barrier condition is very important factor for development of food tolerance. In the first few years of life, humans gradually develop an intricate balance between tolerance and immune reactivity in the gut mucosa. Increased absorption of food antigens in early childhood may play role for sensitization and development of food allergy in the future. The purpose of the study is investigation of gut permeability in newborn infants with first symptoms of allergy.
