You (or your child) may have had H. pylori for years without knowing.

So why does it suddenly start causing symptoms?

The truth is: H. pylori often needs a “perfect storm” to become problematic.

And many of those storm clouds are part of everyday life:

⚠️ Regular use of anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen
⚠️ Frequent alcohol or smoking
⚠️ Poor sleep and high stress
⚠️ A diet low in fibre and high in processed foods

When these factors pile up, they weaken your gut’s natural defences and that’s when H. pylori can start irritating the stomach lining, triggering symptoms like pain, nausea, reflux, or bloating.

The good news?

Small, steady shifts in your daily routine can create a more gut-friendly environment, helping calm inflammation and reduce symptoms naturally.

This is a key step I explore with my clients before we ever jump to antibiotics.

Your gut lining is designed to stay strong and selective.

It keeps irritants out and allows only what your body needs to pass through.

When oral bacteria become imbalanced, they can travel into the digestive tract and irritate the gut lining.

Over time, this may weaken the barrier and increase permeability, which can contribute to
👉 bloating
👉 inflammation
👉 more food reactions than usual.

This pattern is more common when there is gum inflammation, chronic sinus congestion, or ongoing throat issues.

Supporting oral microbial balance can create a calmer environment throughout the whole digestive system and help protect gut integrity.

✨ A healthy mouth is an important part of a healthy gut.

We often think we need to add more to make things work better.

But when it comes to breastfed infants, sometimes the most powerful support is simply letting nature do what it was designed to do.

Breast milk contains prebiotics that feed your baby’s own unique microbiome, no extra probiotic strains needed.

Unless prescribed by a qualified practitioner, probiotics are best avoided in healthy, breastfed infants.

Can you manage H. pylori without harming your gut?

Yes!

And nature has some beautiful, evidence-backed options.

These foods and herbs don’t just fight the bug, they help calm inflammation, support the gut lining, and restore balance.

That’s a win-win for your gut.

Here’s what I often include when creating a gentle, gut-focused plan:

👉 Green tea
👉 Broccoli sprouts
👉 Garlic
👉 Chamomile
👉 Cranberries
👉 Cabbage juice
👉 Berries and culinary herbs

Remember, the goal is not just to “kill off” H. pylori but to support your whole digestive system in the process.

In August 2025, an MRNA vaccine for hand foot and mouth disease in livestock has been approved.

This vaccine took 18 months to develop and approve, which is very fast in comparison to other livestock vaccines.

Studies on fertility impact and impact on offspring of humans and animals can not be done during an 18-month time frame.

If you wish to avoid this technology in the meat you consume, please be aware that CERTIFIED ORGANIC prohibits the use of MRNA in these animals.

Certified organic produce is audited regularly to ensure standards are being met.

It also guarantees the food in pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and GMO free.

We often start by removing triggers: fragrances, environmental allergens, reactive foods.

But sometimes, even after all of this, eczema continues.

That’s when I start thinking about the microbiome.

A significantly imbalanced gut microbiome can:
👉 Drive skin inflammation through immune over-activation
👉 Reduce the body’s ability to tolerate certain foods
👉 Make healing much harder, even when the diet looks “perfect”

At this stage, stool or microbiome testing gives us invaluable insights.

We can identify pathogens or imbalances, then use targeted strategies - herbs, probiotics, and nutrition - to restore balance.

The goal isn’t just to calm eczema in the short term, but to build a resilient gut that supports long-term skin health.

Because eczema is never just a skin condition. The gut–skin connection is powerful, and when we support one, we help the other.

How many times have you found yourself Googling:

“Why does my child wake at night?”
“Why is my child grinding their teeth?”
“Why so many meltdowns lately?”

😣 You’ve tried earlier bedtimes.
😣 You’ve cut the sugar.
😣 You’ve even blamed the full moon.

But here's something rarely talked about, and yet shockingly common 👇

Intestinal worm infections.

Yup. Threadworms + pinworms can trigger night terrors, restless sleep, teeth grinding, and even emotional dysregulation in kids.

And the kicker? Most routine tests won’t catch them.

❌ Stool tests = high false negatives.
✅ The sticky tape test = weird, but way more accurate.

If you suspect worms, this is your game plan:

👉Sticky tape test - 3 to 6 nights in a row.
👉Treat the whole family with over-the-counter meds.
👉Shower every morning - wash those eggs away.
👉Clean like you’re sheets, towels, dust, the lot.

Because reinfection rates are sky high.

Kids share everything... including worms. 😬

If this hit home? Save this post and share it with another tired parent. You’re not alone, and this might be the thing that finally changes everything.

Wondering if nickel toxicity is affecting you? The best way to find out is through testing!

A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can detect:

✅ High nickel levels
✅ Imbalances in key minerals (iron, zinc, magnesium)
✅ Heavy metal toxicity impacting your health

Why test?

Symptoms of nickel toxicity - like skin rashes, fatigue, and gut issues - are often misdiagnosed or overlooked.

Testing helps get to the root cause so you can start healing.

Want to check your levels? Let’s chat about HTMA testing!

Your oral microbiome is the very beginning of your digestive system...

so when it is out of balance, your gut often feels it first.

There are several clues that the issue might not start in your belly, but in your mouth or sinuses.

You may notice:
🤔 Recurring bloating, even with healthy foods
🤔 Slow motility or constipation
🤔 More food reactions than usual
🤔 Frequent throat infections
🤔 Coated tongue or chronic bad breath
🤔 Nasal congestion that will not fully clear

Imbalanced oral bacteria can migrate into the gut and influence inflammation, motility, and the strength of your intestinal barrier.

Supporting the oral microbiome is often a missing step in long term gut repair.

When you support the top of the digestive tract, the rest of the system flows more smoothly.

Smoothies that sneak in supplements??

Supplements don’t have to feel like a battle. Smoothies are one of my favourite ways to disguise taste and texture, while still making sure kids get what their body needs.

Try blitzing frozen fruit, ice, and coconut water or juice into a smoothie. Then stir in their supplement powder after blending (especially probiotics + omega oils, so they stay effective).

Cold + fruity = taste disguised, happy kids.

Just remember to add probiotics and oils after blending to keep them stable.

Topical support is essential when healing eczema.

But with so many creams on the market, how do you know what’s actually going to help?

I always recommend starting with fragrance-free, non-food-based moisturisers that support the skin’s natural lipid layer.

In clinic, I’ve seen clients get great results with formulas that include ceramides, jojoba, safflower, or squalene. Or if you are located in Perth, Kiara Pharmacy's compound eczema cream (clients rave about this one!)

Our gut and brain are deeply connected, they talk to each other every second through the gut–brain axis.

When the gut is inflamed, or the balance of bacteria is disrupted, it can affect the way the brain develops and communicates.

This can show up as challenges with speech, focus, mood, or emotional regulation in children.

Here’s how you can start supporting your child’s gut health naturally:

🌿 1. Focus on real, whole foods.
Avoid artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives, these can irritate the gut and nervous system.

🥦 2. Feed the good bacteria.
Include a variety of plant foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
These provide prebiotic fibres that nourish beneficial bacteria.

💧 3. Support digestion.
Hydration, mindful eating, and regular mealtimes all help keep the digestive system working efficiently.

🧠 4. Consider probiotics, prebiotics or microbiome testing.
Not all probiotics are the same, the right strains can help calm inflammation and rebalance the gut. Prebiotics can help feed indigenous flora unique to your ecosystem.

Testing provides a clear picture of what your child’s microbiome actually needs.

When we support the gut, we support so much more than digestion - we support the nervous system, learning, and development too.
