Parents that have a child suffering from food intolerances can feel lost and pulled in so many different directions on what to try next. Food intolerances in children can manifest in various ways, often causing discomfort and distress. 😢 Symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the child’s sensitivity and the type of food involved. If a child experiences one or more of these symptoms after they consume that food, it’s likely they have a food intolerance. 😟
Common symptoms of food intolerances include:
✔️ Bloating
✔️ Excess gas
✔️ Stomach pain
✔️ Diarrhea
✔️ Migraine
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Runny nose
✔️ Fatigue
✔️ Skin reactions such as hives, eczema, or rashes
Because there is such a strong link between the gut and the brain via the vagus nerve, food intolerances can often negatively affect a child’s sleep, behavior, emotions, and mood regulation. 😫
When seeking advice from a traditional medical doctor regarding food intolerance, it is likely they will attribute the issue to the insufficient production of a specific enzyme required by the digestive system to break down certain foods 🍞 or ingredients. However, the underlying reason for the deficiency remains unknown to the traditional medical community.
They need to look 🔎 deeper… WHY does a child have a hard time breaking down a particular food? We need to go all the way back to the beginning and look at the entire nervous system to get to the root cause of every food intolerance. This is where neurologically 🧠 focused-chiropractic care comes in. 👏
If your child is struggling with food intolerance and completely unable to eat certain foods, the first step is to schedule a consultation with our trained pediatric team who can deep dive into your child’s case history and look for exact triggers and root causes.
