Core Tip

Core tip: Research examining the potential benefits of using breastfeeding and/or human colostrum for a wide range of gastroenterologic conditions of coeliac disease in autistic rats which is never studied before. Early results are encouraging and we envisage the standard use of human colostrum in the clinical management of gastrointestinal diseases within the next decade.
