Happy Belly Club
Are you a parent who is struggling to help your child with constipation or IBS diarrhoea, tummy pain and bloating?
Your heart is breaking for your child. It’s been months now, and your child is still struggling with stomach aches, bloating, constipation or diarrhoea. You don’t know what to do, and you feel so exasperated. You just want your child to be comfortable, happy and healthy.
It all started a few months ago when your child started complaining about stomach aches.
At first, you thought it was just a passing thing, but the aches kept coming back. You tried changing their diet, but that didn’t seem to make a difference. You took them to see the doctor, but they couldn’t find anything wrong.
It’s been frustrating for you to watch your child suffer day in and day out. You can see how uncomfortable they are, and it breaks your heart.
They have trouble sleeping, and they’re always tired. It’s also affecting their performance at school, and you worry about how they will keep up with their peers.
You’ve tried everything you can think of to help them.
You’ve tried probiotics, fibre supplements, and different kinds of food, but nothing seems to make a difference. It’s like you’re just stuck in this never-ending cycle of discomfort and pain.
What’s even worse is the guilt you feel as a mother. You feel like you should be able to make everything better for your child. You should be able to take away their pain and make them happy. But you can’t. It’s like you’re failing as a parent, and it’s such a terrible feeling.
You know that you need to stay strong for your child, but it’s so hard. You want to cry every time you see them in pain. You want to scream at the world for not being fair. Why does your child have to suffer like this? Why can’t they just be healthy like all the other kids?
You’re so worried about their future too. Will this condition affect them for the rest of their life? Will they be able to have a normal life, go to school, make friends, and be happy? These questions keep you up at night, and it’s so hard to find answers.
You just hope that one day, your child will be able to live without these tummy issues. You hope that they can be happy, grow, and thrive. You hope that they can perform well at school and achieve everything they want in life. But most of all, you hope that they can be comfortable in their own body and not have to suffer like this anymore.
If this sounds familiar, then you are in the right place.

Don't take my word for it, here are some testimonials from parents just like you:
“We asked Bahee for help with our son’s constipation and problems with digestion and intolerances/discomfort from many foods.
Bahee helped put in place easy to follow steps to work on identifying and removing trigger foods. She also advised on foods and vitamins to help relieve our son’s symptoms.
We then started the process of introducing foods step by step and he is now able to eat most things problem-free without the need for the medication he was on before.
We would highly recommend Bahee. Our son needed help with a number of things and removing the discomfort that he had with food/digestion has helped him and us in a number of other areas.”
Nick & Laura
Results were clear to see within days!
“Life was a struggle trying to get to the bottom of what was causing my child’s symptoms. We attended the doctor numerous times but were not taken seriously.
I wasn’t sure that a paediatric dietitian was the right approach but after talking with Bahee, and going through my son’s symptoms and history, we eventually got to the bottom of what has been causing the problem.
I followed the plan and the results were clear to see within days. We feel that we have direction now. We no longer have to guess which foods do or do not agree with my child, which is such a big weight off our shoulders. Now my child’s symptoms have resolved and also showing some weight gain. Bahee listens to what you have to say and advises through her experience on what may also be the best course of action to take.”

Hi, I'm Bahee Van de Bor, registered paediatric dietitian and Monash University qualified expert.
You have already taken the first step by understanding you need to do something about your child's tummy troubles.
Now let me help you the rest of the way.
My journey started with my own IBS related problems as a teenager. I never understood why I had tummy pain and bloating after eating certain foods. Not to mention the unwanted trips to the loo afterwards!
Now as a mother of two children, I don’t want them to have the same experience.
As a gut health dietitian, I’m on a mission to raise awareness of irritable bowel syndrome in children so that more children get the expert help they deserve early.
I completed my certified FODMAPs course with Monash University so that I can help other children avoid having to wait until their 20s to finally get on top of their IBS related diarrhoea or constipation.
Let’s work together so that your child no longer needs to miss out on important social events or everyday activities like school and sports just because they are ashamed and anxious about their tummy troubles.
How does the programme work?
1:
The Programme
Over 12 weeks, you’ll learn from me how to carefully execute an exclusion diet designed to reduce tummy pain, bloating and tummy troubles without compromising on your child’s nutrition.
2:
3 Step Framework
A deep dive into the science behind how the low fermentable carbohydrate diet works. During an initial video consultation, I will recommend a specific nutrition pathway for your child.
3:
The IBS Mastery Method
Working out exactly how to follow the recommended exclusion diet, how to balance nutrition, and monitor your child’s symptoms. Based on your child’s clinical history and symptoms, we’ll agree on the best plan forward.
4:
The Tools
We’ll go through exactly what you need to make the exclusion diet phase a success. From guides to monitoring sheets and worksheets, we’ll make this process as easy as possible for you.
5:
Identifying Triggers
Which foods are triggering your child’s tummy troubles and other gut-related symptoms? How do you really monitor and recognise this? I’ll show you how to make this a seamless process. We’ll also discuss how much of each food your child can eat so that nothing is entirely off the table unless it’s truly necessary.
6:
The Management
Once you know what your child’s food triggers are it can be tricky to know how to feed your child moving forward. We’ll spend time mapping out what a typical day could look like so you know exactly what to feed your child without triggering constipation or loose stools in the future.
You will get all of the templates, worksheets and diet sheets so that you can keep track of your child’s progress to maximise their poop success.

Success Stories
Diarrhoea stopped within 5 days
“Bahee has been a breath of fresh air! We had been pushed from pillar to post by GP’s, hospitals and community health centers without getting anywhere nearer to understanding our child's intolerances and allergies. Within a few short weeks we have made significant progress, both in terms of understanding a complex and multifaceted health issue, but also his bowel movements. Done via a combination of emails, Zoom meetings (with slides), the advice is compassionate and personal. Bahee will remember your child by name and his specific symptoms.”
Stomach pains reduced significantly
"I reached out to Bahee for help as my son had regular light tummy pains. Since working with her, his stomach pains have reduced significantly. We also have a framework for dealing with problems in the future. Bahee showed us how to work through different food groups to isolate the problem. Her manner with my son was excellent and made him feel very comfortable."
Diarrhoea stopped within 5 days
“Bahee patiently provided us with advice and guidance to get to the bottom of our son's complex dietary sensitivities. She helped us to explore all the options. With each approach we tried, she provided expert advice on how to meet our son's nutritional needs.
It took a while for us to understand his sensitivities, Bahee was on hand, responding to emails quickly and providing advice between consultations to make what was a difficult and painstaking process as easy as possible.
Through a combination of small dietary changes and probiotics, we have now resolved our son's digestive issues, with only the occasional issue, normally linked to stomach bugs/ill health. We have also gained useful knowledge which we've applied to our own diets and that of our younger child.”

Frequantly Asked Questions
This programme is ideal for parents of children who have been struggling with constipation or loose stools secondary to IBS. Your child’s paediatrician may have prescribed laxatives for constipation or other medications for children with porridge-like stools but you now want to move away from relying on medications.
For children with watery stools, ideally, your child has already been assessed by a medical doctor or paediatrician who has ruled out potentially serious medical conditions like inflammatory bowel disease.
If you’ve answered yes to all of this and you’ve read this so far, then I know you are ready to join IBS Kids Mastery.
This programme is not designed for children diagnosed with active inflammatory bowel problems like Crohn’s Disease or ulcerative colitis.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a digestive problem in children and adolescents where constipation or diarrhoea is one of their main problems.
IBS is therefore a collection of symptoms as outlined below:
- Abdominal pain (usually central or lower tummy pain that improves after pooping)
- Bloating with or without a visibly distended tummy
- Excessive wind
- Diarrhoea with urgency (with or without nappy rash)
- Constipation with soiling and/or with the feeling of incomplete emptying of the bowel
Absolutely!
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 you 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.
If your child’s predominant symptoms are bloating and diarrhoea with poor growth, then liaise with a paediatrician or gastroenterologist to screen for coeliac disease and other gastrointestinal conditions first.
Children with parental history of IBS and/or chronic pain are at increased risk of developing IBS in childhood. If you suspect that your child has IBS, get a coeliac screen and book a complimentary call with me.
Other tests like hydrogen breath tests are not useful and should be used and interpreted with caution. Instead, a personalised modified FODMAP diet is considered the most reliable way of assessing FODMAP tolerance to manage IBS related symptoms in children.
We will work together over 4 consultations, each lasting between 45-60 minutes. All video consultations will be held via zoom.
You can enrol directly onto the IBS Mastery Method.
You can book a single video 60 minutes consultation here. During this appointment, you can ask me questions you have about IBS and any first line dietary modifications that you can try. However to achieve the transformations that you are looking, I recommend that you join the programme.
The first initial appointment is 60 minutes long.
Follow-up sessions are booked for 45 minutes.
You will also be offered e-mail support in-between appointments for 12 weeks so that you will always have any questions answered quickly.
When you purchase the gut health programme for children, you will be requested to send to Bahee any relevant medical reports, growth information such as a recent height and weight and any othe relevant information such as blood results if available.
You will find the full details of the total investment here.
So if you're ready to take the first step towards helping your child feel better, thrive and succeed, I encourage you to book a discovery call with me today.
During our call, we'll discuss your child's symptoms, medical history, and dietary habits, and I'll answer any questions you may have about our programme.
Remember, you don't have to do this alone. With my Happy Belly Club, you'll have the support and guidance you need to help your child feel better and live their best life.
