Mediterranean diet in pregnancy to prevent baby allergies
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether following a Mediterranean-style eating pattern during pregnancy can lower the chance that a child develops allergies. It may help families who already have a higher allergy risk, by changing diet during early pregnancy.
