"I have been taking the formula religiously and I have to say that I am feeling unbelievably well" Sally, Nottinghamshire. During Pregnancy
 

The root cause of abnormal gut flora, as covered in other sections of Better by Nature.com, is diet, lifestyle and environment. In addition, the contraceptive pill has usually been taken by mothers from an early age. The steroids in the drug pill have an ability to both suppress and contribute to a weak immune system and change the composition of bodily flora. Many mothers have also had numerous courses of antibiotics.

We now have generations of families with compromised gut flora contributed by the era of antibiotics, contraceptive pill, drastic changes to diet and breast feeding going out of fashion, leading to epidemics of asthma, eczema, allergies, diabetes, learning and behavioural conditions and many other problems in children.

There is growing evidence that exposure in the womb to chemicals substances that remain in the environment and bioaccumulate through the food web may play an important role in the obesity epidemic. These include everyday chemicals used in the production of plastics, epoxy resins that line food and drink cans and solvents, lubricants and stabilisers in the manufacture of a variety of consumer products.

Further evidence that pollution in the womb can have major effects later in life is indicated by studies which show that children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are around twice as likely to be obese compared with children of non-smoking mothers.

Latest evidence is women wanting to become pregnant are just as likely to succeed by giving up alcohol, caffeine and smoking as attending a fertility clinic.
