Tummy Troubles - Fix your child’s gut issues and microbiome to make them happy and well

For this month's webinar, Dr. Leila Masson discusses underlying causes of constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, reflux, and how to make your child well. You will get evidence-based information and practical tips on using nutrition and supplements to relieve your child’s gut issues. She also reviews the latest research on gut flora to help choose the best way to improve your child’s microbiome.

Tummy problems like pain, bloating, reflux, and constipation or diarrhoea affect kids’ moods and behaviour in various ways.

First of all, the pain itself can make them irritable; children with autism who cannot tell you about their pain may scratch and bite themselves to express their pain.

Secondly, the tummy issues can affect sleep – and bad sleep makes for unhappy children (and parents). The pathogens or bacteria in the gut that are associated with tummy issues produce toxic chemicals that can travel through the body and make you unhappy or disrupt your sleep. And diarrhoea makes it difficult to absorb vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients needed for optimal growth, development, mood, and behaviour. So, treating gut issues is often very effective in making children happier and healthier very quickly. 

Dr. Leila will explore the root causes of all kinds of tummy issues, discuss the role of the microbiome, and offer you effective, gentle ways to treat your child’s tummy troubles.
