Tag: Gbs prevention

Infections, particularly those caused by the bacterium *Campylobacter jejuni*, are a leading trigger for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), with research suggesting up to 40% of cases may follow such an infection. While the syndrome is not directly caused by food, understanding what food to avoid to prevent GBS by minimizing bacterial exposure is a critical preventative step.

According to a systematic review published in *ScienceDirect*, probiotic interventions appear to be a moderately effective strategy to reduce antenatal Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization. A key aspect of a holistic approach to prevent GBS involves using a nutrition diet to support a healthy microbiome and a robust immune system. While diet is not a replacement for medical screening and treatment, certain foods and dietary strategies can create an environment less hospitable to harmful bacteria.
