And the rate may be even higher in infants and toddlers. Recent research suggests a strong connection between the gut microbiome and the development of the atopic march — a progression that includes eczema, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis. However, key challenges remain:
Dayhoff integrates cutting-edge data science, deep learning, and a robust bioinformatics repository to advance personalized medicine. From families seeking actionable health insights to research labs exploring intricate datasets, our patented technology and expert partnerships deliver transformative results.
This study is available exclusively to individuals who have purchased a Dayhoff baby gut test kit.
To help advance research on the vital connection between a mother’s and baby’s gut microbiome, we recommend that moms also submit their own gut sample—available at a discounted rate when bundled with the baby’s test.
Stool samples can be easily collected at home using our dry swab method, directly from soiled toilet tissue or a diaper.
Participants will be asked to complete short surveys after submitting samples and again at the end of the study period, contributing valuable data to support ongoing research into childhood allergies.
All samples are processed in a CLIA-certified lab using Dayhoff’s proprietary technology, offering strain-level accuracy and a full profile of the gut microbiome—including bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and archaea. Results are typically delivered within 4–5 weeks.
This research-edition gut test is designed for families with children aged 0–3 years who have been formally diagnosed by a healthcare provider (official documentation required) with one or more of the following conditions:
If a child does not have one of the listed diagnoses, they may still be eligible to participate in the control arm of the study.
Eligibility Requirements:
Each report includes a personalized expert note, carefully reviewed by Dayhoff’s team of microbiome specialists.
