If your child has repeated tummy aches, unpredictable poos, toilet battles, or symptoms that flare without warning, this quiz helps you make sense of what’s going on, so you know exactly where to begin.
No more guessing. No more overwhelm. Just clarity.
*This is a free educational quiz from UK Kids Nutrition. Your answers help us show you relevant tips. It isn’t medical advice. See privacy policy.
This quiz isn’t a generic symptom checker.
Your child’s answers are interpreted using the same clinical patterns I use in private practice, drawing on over 20 years’ experience supporting children with tummy pain, constipation and IBS.
The aim isn’t to label or overwhelm you. It’s to give you a clear, sensible starting point so you know what to focus on next.
Your child’s symptoms often point to a clear pattern once someone trained in paediatric gut health interprets them.
No complicated medical terms. We just ask about their poo, pain, and sleep, the clues your child’s gut is already giving you.
You’ll receive personalised guidance based on your answers, including:
Nothing restrictive. Nothing dramatic. Just practical clarity grounded in clinical experience.
Your answers stay confidential. Zero diagnosis. Zero judgment. Just clarity, so you finally know where to begin.
Loose or hard stools
Toilet anxiety, withholding, or rushing
School refusal or anxiety around toilets
Reactions to certain foods
Unpredictable flare-ups with no obvious cause
Suspected IBS
Parents often tell me they’ve tried online symptom quizzes before and only received generic, surface-level advice.
This quiz uses the same approach I use in clinic, in my 1-to-1 work with families, so your guidance is practical and grounded in paediatric gut health expertise. Not generic internet advice.
If your answers suggest a sensitive gut pattern, you’ll unlock a special quiz-taker offer for a probiotic strain commonly used for similar symptoms.
This quiz is your first step toward the support families receive inside my 1-to-1 programme, The Happy Belly Club.
If your answers suggest a sensitive gut pattern, you’ll also unlock a quiz-taker bonus price on

Most parents use this as their first step before trying probiotics.
