Meet Therese →Kids’ gut health questions, answered
Why is my child always constipated?
Common drivers include low fiber and fluids, withholding, and certain dietary patterns. We find your child’s specific causes and address them gently.
Can gut issues really affect behavior and mood?
Yes, the gut-brain connection means discomfort and imbalance can influence focus, sleep, and mood, especially in sensitive kids.
What foods help?
It’s individual, but generally a varied, fiber-rich, well-hydrated pattern introduced in ways your child will accept.
Should my child take probiotics?
Sometimes helpful, but not a cure-all. We recommend food-first and only targeted supplements when indicated.
When should we see a GI specialist?
We’ll help you recognize red flags and coordinate referrals when medical evaluation is warranted.
