Get Kids to Eat More Fiber! 🥦💪

Most kids don't get enough fiber, but it's crucial for digestive health and a healthy gut. 🌟 Here are 5 kid-friendly high-fiber foods:

1. Berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) - perfect in yogurt or smoothies 🍓
2. Whole Grain Cereal or Oatmeal - look for 3+ grams of fiber per serving 🥣
3. Apples with skin - crunchy and sweet, pairs well with peanut butter 🍎
4. Popcorn - a fun and fiber-rich snack (hold the extra butter and salt) 🍿
5. Chickpeas (roasted or hummus) - try crunchy roasted chickpeas or hummus with carrots or pretzels 🧆🥕

Pro Tip: Increase fiber gradually and ensure plenty of water to avoid bloating. 🚰 Make snack time healthier and digestion easier! 💚

🩺 Common Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

Your colon plays a major role in digestion and overall health. Sometimes, early signs of colorectal conditions can be subtle—but catching them early can make all the difference. Here are warning signs to look out for:

🔹 Blood in your stool (bright red or dark/black)
🔹 Unexplained changes in bowel habits– diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing stools that last more than a few days
🔹 Persistent abdominal pain or cramping
🔹 Unexplained weight loss without changes in diet or exercise
🔹 Fatigue or weakness (linked to anemia & internal bleeding)
🔹 A feeling of fullness or incomplete emptying after using the restroom

⚠️ These symptoms don’t always mean colon cancer, but they can signal other conditions like hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, polyps or inflammatory bowel disease.

💙 The key takeaway: If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t ignore them—schedule an appointment with our colorectal specialists. Early evaluation and treatment could save your life.
