This trend again because, for real! These all point toward the gut and should not be ignored
1️⃣ Days without p**ping — A full week without a p**p is not normal at any age — it’s a sign their gut motility needs support.
2️⃣ Always sick / congestion — Back-to-back illness is a sign the gut (where 70% of immunity lives!) needs help.
3️⃣ Eczema that keeps returning — Skin is an extension of the gut — repeated flares mean something internal is unresolved.
4️⃣ Behavior + irritability — Mood and behavior are directly linked to the microbiome, with a “gut-brain axis” connecting the two through neural, immune, and hormonal pathways.
5️⃣ Slow weight gain (with gut issues) — Gut inflammation affects appetite, digestion, absorption, and growth.
6️⃣ Reflux / grunting / arching — An imbalanced microbiome (dysbiosis) can contribute to reflux symptoms.
7️⃣ Food refusal / picky eating — An extremely limited diet or refusal to try new foods may indicate an underlying gut issue.
8️⃣ Back-to-back ear infections — When the microbiome is imbalanced and inflammation is high, ear infections keep returning.
9️⃣ Reactions to multiple foods — Rashes, tummy pain, mucus, diarrhea, or discomfort with more than one food = gut imbalance clue.
🔟 Dry, reactive, or sensitive skin — If everything irritates their skin — soaps, foods, weather — the gut lining likely needs healing.
Once we address the gut with the right nutrition, diet, and lifestyle, so many of these symptoms resolve.
✨ A Happy Tummy is a Happy Family 💚
