When all the tests come back normal, parents are often told:

“There’s nothing wrong.”

But a child can still have very real, very persistent abdominal pain even when blood tests, scans and stool tests are clear.

Normal results simply mean there is no infection, no inflammation, no structural disease.

They do not mean your child is imagining it.

In many children, ongoing tummy pain is functional abdominal pain. The gut and nervous system are communicating differently. The pain pathway has become sensitised.

It is real.

It just does not show up on standard medical tests.

And the approach to supporting it is different from treating infection or disease.

If you have been told everything is normal but your child is still in pain, comment PAIN or message me HAPPY BELLY and I will send you the next steps.

I was mid clinic call this week when this was quietly slid across my laptop.

For a split second I thought it was something sentimental.

A love note.
A little drawing.
A “we love you mummy”.

No.

It was a formal request for ice cream.

After ten minutes.

Apparently ten minutes is the maximum acceptable waiting time in this house.

Parenting.
Clinic calls.
Negotiations over frozen desserts.

All happening at once.

Happy Friday.

If symptoms flare every term time …
or settle during holidays…
that is rarely random.

School meals meet general standards. I discussed this on today’s BBC Scotland Radio.

They are not designed around children with IBS, constipation or functional abdominal pain.

Sometimes the issue isn’t dairy or gluten.

It’s:

• Not finishing the meal
• Rushing
• Minimal fluids
• Anxiety in a loud hall
• Large portions of fermentable foods eaten quickly

For a sensitive gut, that combination is enough.

I review school patterns in almost every assessment.

If school days are harder than weekends, that’s usually a signal, not something to ignore.

If you want a proper review rather than more restriction, book a discovery call ☎️ via link in my bio

When I see children who have been taking laxatives for years, it is rarely because the medication has failed.

Laxatives can be necessary. Sometimes they are the thing that breaks the cycle.

But they were never designed to be the only long term strategy.

What I often find is that the wider picture was never fully explored.

Things like what the child is actually eating, and when.

Whether fear of pain has built up over time.

Whether mornings allow enough time for them to go properly.

Whether early feeding patterns were ever properly addressed.

Medication can support.

But it cannot rebuild trust with the bowel on its own.

If your child has been on laxatives for a long time and nothing really feels different, it may simply mean the underlying mechanism has not been properly identified yet.

That is a very different starting point.

If your baby or toddler has gut symptoms, please read this.

IgG antibodies reflect exposure to foods, not intolerance.
These tests are not validated for diagnosing food allergy or gut disorders.

They are not recommended in recognised paediatric guidelines.

Removing multiple foods without proper assessment can compromise nutrition and increase parental anxiety.

If you have already purchased one of these tests, you are not foolish. These adverts are designed to alarm worried parents.

Please seek appropriate medical assessment before removing foods.

Save this. Share it with a parent who needs it.

Here’s a punchier, more emotional version:

——

**You’ve tried the fibre. The water. Cut the dairy.**

**And your child is still constipated.**

It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because no one’s told you what’s *actually* keeping things stuck.

Tonight’s carousel breaks down the **3 hidden reasons** constipation won’t budge — and what to do instead.

These are the exact steps I use inside the Happy Belly Club to help kids:
✔ Get off laxatives
✔ Stop the tummy pain
✔ Feel confident at school again

**If this is you:**

💬 **DM me the word CONSTIPATION** — I’ll send you the best next step for your child

📌 **Save this** so you can revisit it when you need it

📤 **Tag a parent** who’s been dealing with this for too long

You don’t have to figure this out alone.
The right plan changes everything. 💛
