| Core Tip |
Cesarean section (C-section) delivery is associated with altered neonatal gut microbiota and a higher risk of both short- and long-term gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. This systematic review summarizes evidence linking C-section to infantile colic, gastroesophageal reflux, constipation, food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and celiac disease. The review highlights gut dysbiosis as a central mechanism and identifies modifiable factors—including breastfeeding, probiotic use, and reduced antibiotic exposure—that can mitigate risks. Understanding these associations enables clinicians to provide personalized postnatal care and early interventions that may prevent chronic GI outcomes in C-section-born infants. |
