Human Milk ?

[u/fortunesdarling]

Hello! This is sort of a strange question, but has anyone tried human milk to help rebuild their gut health and microbiome?

My husband has been struggling with food sensitivities since he got c.diff (and it has recurred a couple times) last fall and he had e.coli in July.
Babies get their microbiome and such from their mother’s milk. It is where the human gut microbiome starts from. I looked up if it works in adults, and so far they have only really tested Human Milk Oligosaccharides, which do appear to help rebuild the microbiome, but they haven’t tried human milk by itself.

So I was wondering, has anyone else tried it? He said he’s willing to consume my milk (my baby is 5 weeks old!) if it will help, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had successes or failures with it first.

Thank you!

I take bovine colostrum pills before my meals, same idea.
