Abstract

Authors´ conclusions: in full-term newborns, antibiotics during the first week of life are related to the appearance of functional abdominal pain at the age of 4-6 years, and the presence of food allergy is related to the presence of irritable bowel syndrome and abdominal migraine at 4-6 years.

Reviewers´ commentary: the use of antibiotic therapy in full-term newborns in the first days of life could increase the risk of suffering from gastrointestinal disorders in childhood. This association is weak and of little magnitude. Further studies would be necessary for confirmation.
