Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is thought of as a grown-up problem, but kids can have it too.
Did you know that the incidence of IBS in children is 15%? The actual figures may be more as many children don’t get a timely diagnosis until their 20s or 30s!
If suspect that your child may have IBS, then you are probably looking for help to manage IBS symptoms like:
- tummy pain that your child says gets better after a poop
- bloating with or without visible abdominal distention
- excessive wind (passing lots of gas)
- diarrhoea with urgency (+ nappy rash in young children)
- or constipation with or without soiling.
Depending on the age of your child these symptoms may be affecting your child’s appetite, behaviour, sleep and how well they are able to engage in social activities.
My Children’s Gut Health Programme is the recommended treatment to manage your child’s symptoms. My Kids Gut Health Programme (1-2-1) will help you to identify which foods are causing bloating, pain and tummy troubles for your child.
We will also focus on improving how regularly your child does a poop.
