Subject:        cow's milk antibodies in human milk from women with allergies

Hi All,
Perhaps this has been discussed before, but I thought it might be of
interest to some:


Acta Paediatr 1996 Jul;85(7):778-784
Dietary factors influencing levels of food antibodies and antigens in
breast milk.
Lovegrove JA, Morgan JB, Hamptom SM

School of Biological Sciences, University of Surrey, UK.

The effect of a milk-free diet during late pregnancy and lactation, on
levels of cows' milk specific antibodies and antigens in breast milk,
was examined. Women with an allergic condition (defined as atopic)
were randomly allocated to a milk-free diet (n = 10) or an
unrestricted diet (n = 12). Twelve non-atopic women followed an
unrestricted diet. A significant reduction (p < 0.001) in
beta-lactoglobulin-specific immunoglobulin A and alpha-casein-specific
immunoglobulin A levels was observed over the first 5 days in all
groups. The mean level of beta-lactoglobulin antigens in breast milk
from women who adhered strictly to the milk-free diet was
significantly lower than the levels of the atopic group on the
unrestricted diet (p < 0.02). The allergy incidence in the infants
born in the atopic diet group was significantly lower compared with
that of the atopic group on the unrestricted diet.
