When I formulated BB Kids, I knew we were addressing something deeper than just symptoms. We were targeting the gut–immune–nervous system connection that underpins so many of the concerns I see in clinic every day.

The feedback from families has honestly said it all.

Parents are telling us their children actually love the taste (which, as we all know, matters more than anything for compliance). We’re seeing speech progressions, calmer behaviour, more regulated moods and more regular bowel movements, which tells me the gut–brain axis is being supported exactly as intended.

We’ve had children clear worms, stomach cramps resolve, and eczema settle as the inflammatory load reduces and the gut lining begins to repair. When the microbiome is balanced and the immune system is supported properly, the body does what it’s designed to do regulate.

This is why BB Kids isn’t just another supplement. It’s a foundational, gut-focused protocol designed to support detoxification, immune modulation and microbial balance in growing bodies.

🚨 Why every parent should have BB Kids at home for emergencies

Because let’s be honest… kids don’t get sick between 9–5 on a weekday.

Gastro at 2am.
Antibiotics after an ear infection.
A sudden viral flare.
Post-vaccine unsettled behaviour.
Travel tummy bugs.

These moments feel stressful, but they don’t have to feel chaotic.

Having key protocols at home means you can respond early and confidently.

🦠 After antibiotics – support the gut lining and restore beneficial bacteria before dysbiosis sets in.
🤢 During gastro – help reduce microbial load, calm inflammation and support recovery.
🤧 Recurrent sickness – strengthen immune resilience at the root, not just suppress symptoms.
💉 Vaccination support – nourish detox pathways and immune regulation.
✈️ Travel prep (Bali belly prevention) – protect the gut before exposure.

Think of it like a first-aid kit… but for the microbiome.

If your child is having frequent tantrums, big emotional swings or struggling with regulation… this is what I’d be looking at in the supermarket 🛒

Not restriction. Not punishment.
Just strategic swaps to support their brain + gut.

Because behaviour is communication and the gut–brain axis is real.

SWAPS I WOULD MAKE

Remove:
– Highly processed snack foods with artificial colours, flavours + preservatives
– Excess refined sugar (fruit juice, sugary yoghurt, muesli bars)
– Breakfast cereals with minimal protein
– Ultra-refined seed oils in most packaged snacks

Why?
These drive rapid blood sugar spikes, increase inflammatory load, and in some children can heighten hyperactivity, impulsivity and mood swings. Stable glucose = stable mood.

Add in:
– Protein at every meal (eggs, leftover chicken, sardines, mince, Greek yoghurt)
– Healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, nut butters)
– Fibre for the microbiome (berries, oats, chia, legumes if tolerated)
– Fermented foods IF tolerated and histamine isn’t an issue
– Magnesium-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, cacao, leafy greens)

Why?
Protein supports neurotransmitters like dopamine + serotonin.
Healthy fats stabilise blood sugar + support brain cell membranes.
Fibre feeds beneficial bacteria which produce calming short chain fatty acids like butyrate.

Tantrums aren’t just “behavioural.”
They can reflect:
• Blood sugar crashes
• Nutrient gaps
• Gut inflammation
• Sensory overload
• Poor sleep

We always look deeper than the surface.

If you’re seeing big emotional reactions, aggression, hyperactivity or constant dysregulation food is one of the first foundations to assess.

Not perfectly. Just consistently.

Save this for your next grocery shop 🤍

Steroid creams can be very useful in the short term for eczema. They reduce inflammation,
calm the immune system, and help itchiness of the skin which can reduce tearing of skin
barrier. When used properly, they can make the skin look normal and give families some
relief, which is why they are so heavily prescribed….they work, and they work fast!

That being said, they do not at all address the underlying causes of why eczema is showing
up in the first place. Eczema isn’t just about inflamed skin; it’s about a complex mix of
genetics, the skin barrier, immune function, the microbiome, and environmental or food
triggers. Using steroid creams can temporarily suppress the inflammation, but it doesn’t
repair the barrier or address what’s causing the immune system to overreact.

Research shows that in people with eczema, the skin barrier is often compromised, it loses
water and lets irritants, allergens and microbes in. That’s part of why flare-ups keep
happening. Steroid creams reduce inflammation but don’t fix that leakiness. The skin might
look better while the cream is on, but as soon as you stop, the triggers are still there.

In all of this, it is paramount we assess immune system, of which certain pathways can be
overactive. Steroid creams quiet them down temporarily, but they don’t retrain the immune
system. That’s why long-term remission usually requires more than just creams. As a
naturopath, we consider things like restoring the skin barrier, supporting the skin (and gut)
microbiome, and addressing triggers (food, stress, detergents, climate, or environmental
irritants).

The goal isn’t just to calm the rash down, it’s to reduce how often it comes back and improve the skin’s overall health. Eczema isn’t “just a rash”, it’s a systemic issue showing up on the skin.

One of our favourite nutrients to add into eczema compounds? Zinc.

Zinc is foundational for skin repair, immune regulation and barrier integrity and in clinic, we frequently see suboptimal levels in children with eczema.

Zinc supports:
• Tight junction integrity (reducing “leaky gut”)
• Healthy immune modulation (balancing Th1/Th2 responses)
• Wound healing and skin regeneration
• Reduction of inflammation
• Histamine regulation

When zinc is low, we often see slower skin healing, increased redness, heightened reactivity and more frequent flares.

It’s not a “quick fix” nutrient.
It’s a rebuild-the-foundations nutrient.

Fermented foods are often recommended for “gut healing”… but in clinic, I regularly see them flare eczema.

Sauerkraut and coconut yoghurt are naturally high in histamine.
Histamine is not “bad” it’s an immune signalling molecule. But in children with eczema, the system is often already overloaded.

When there is:
• Gut dysbiosis
• Increased intestinal permeability
• Low DAO enzyme activity
• Elevated IgE or immune activation
• Bacterial or yeast overgrowth

Adding high-histamine foods can amplify itching, redness and night-time flares.

This doesn’t mean fermented foods are unhealthy.
It means timing and individual tolerance matter.

In many eczema cases, we need to:
– Reduce microbial triggers
– Repair the gut lining
– Calm immune activation
– Support histamine breakdown

Before layering in ferments.

Eczema is rarely just a “skin condition”.
It is an immune + gut + barrier issue.

Eczema is often driven by underlying gut and immune imbalance, and when parasites or harmful bacteria are present they continuously trigger inflammation, immune overactivation and toxin release that shows up through the skin. BB Kids Eliminate contains ingredients such as Pomegranate, Echinacea and Black Nigella which are found to eliminate bacterial overgrowths, parasites and candida causing eczema.

Clearing these microbes reduces the inflammatory load on the body and allows the immune system to calm.

BB Kids Repair contains ingredients such as marshmallow root, glutamine, liquorice and zinc which addresses “leaky gut” (leaky gut is where undigested proteins and toxins enter the bloodstream and provoke skin flares). Herbs such as dandelion root support liver detoxification and reduce inflammatory by-products, licorice and marshmallow root soothe and repair the gut lining while calming immune-driven inflammation, and nutrients like zinc and glutamine are essential for intestinal and skin barrier repair, wound healing and immune regulation. Together, addressing microbial overgrowth and strengthening the gut lining reduces systemic inflammation and supports healthy skin regeneration, helping eczema resolve at its root rather than being repeatedly triggered.

🌿 Herb spotlight for eczema Chamomile

Chamomile isn’t just calming for the nervous system, it’s also a quiet achiever for eczema.
It helps reduce skin inflammation, supports histamine regulation, and gently soothes an over-reactive immune response that often drives itch and redness.

For kids (and adults) whose eczema flares with stress, poor sleep, or night-time itching, chamomile works from the inside out calming the body so the skin can actually repair.

Eczema is never just a skin issue. When we support the nervous system and immune system together, the skin follows.

When should you see a naturopath for eczema?

If you have tried the suggested tips and tricks, and there has been no resolution of your child’s eczema then booking an appointment with a degree qualified naturopath is the next step for your child.

Eczema is often a multi factorial condition with imbalances in gut health, nutrient stores, immune system regulation, genetics and skin barrier integrity - this can contribute to you going around and around in circles of trying to treat your child’s eczema without resolution.

A naturopath can help with asking the right questions to understand the root cause of your child’s eczema so that specific tests (gut microbiome test, hair mineral analysis test, blood test, genetic testing etc.) can be completed to assess and address the imbalances which are driving the skin irritation and inflammation.

Eczema that gets worse at night isn’t random.

If your child’s itching ramps up after dark, it’s not “just dry skin” and you’re not imagining it.

Night-time eczema flare-ups are often driven by real physiological changes, including:
• shifts in body temperature
• lower cortisol (our anti-inflammatory hormone)
• increased inflammation
• exposure to evening triggers like heat, fabrics and dust mites

And for many children, eczema isn’t only a skin issue it’s a signal from the body that gut health, immune regulation, nutrient status and skin barrier function need support.

At Balanced Beings, we take a testing-based approach to uncover why eczema is happening, not just how to suppress symptoms.

If night-time itching is disrupting your child’s sleep (and yours), it may be time to look deeper.

Can gut microbiome imbalances cause eczema in kids?

Research indicates that gut microbiome imbalances are a major contributing factor to eczema. This is the due to the gut microbiome influencing skin barrier integrity and inflammation through the gut/skin axis.

Gut microbiome imbalances which can contribute to eczema include:

-Gut hyper permeability or “leaky gut:
It encourages toxin production and allow microorganisms and toxins to enter into systemic circulation, ultimately impacting the skin integrity. Leaky gut impacts nutrient absorption through the gut lining which further impacts skin recovery

-Low secretory Immunoglobulin A (IgA)
As the body’s first line of immune defence, secretory IgA helps to protect the gut
lining and regulate the immune system. Low secretory IgA reduces the gut’s ability to neutralise bacteria, toxins and food particles, which allows more immune triggers to stimulate skin inflammation

-Gut bacterial overgrowths
Research indicates that people with eczema are more likely to have Clostridium difficile, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus overgrowths in the gut - these bacteria drive inflammation, gut permeability and immune system dysregulation

-Low levels of good gut bacteria
Bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Bacteroides species regulate the immune system, reduce gut hyper-permeability and reduce
inflammation - low abundance of these bacteria can therefore contribute to eczema
