Subsequent follow-up (during the first year of life) showed that in children of the main group were less frequently detected functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (15.8% vs 36.5%, P=0.034) and allergic diseases (1.2% vs 5.8%, P=0.056).In newborns whose mothers received a probiotic during the 6 weeks before delivery, after birth levels of both markers of intestinal inflammation (fecal eosinophil-derived protein and fecal calprotectin) were significantly lower than in comparison group (children whose mothers not used probiotics).In addition, in children of the main group in the first year of life were less than half detected such conditions as functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and manifestations of food allergies.
