Asthmatic children have sensitive airways in their lungs which react to triggers causing a ‘flare-up’ where the muscles around the airways squeeze tight.  This causes the airways to swell and become narrow making it harder to breathe.  A children’s asthmatic flare-up can happen slowly, over weeks or very quickly, within minutes.  The sudden or severe asthma flare-up is called a children’s asthma attack. Childhood asthma can cause taxing daily symptoms that interfere with sports, play, school and sleep.  Triggers can include children’s food allergies, inhaling airborne pollen, catching a cold and childhood respiratory infections.  Signs & Symptoms of Children’s Asthma include: ✅ Shortness...

Children’s food intolerances are caused by a chemical reaction and symptoms are usually limited to digestive problems.  They do not involve your children’s immune system and don’t cause the severe allergic reaction of children’s anaphylaxis.  With children’s food intolerances, small amounts of the offending food can still be an irritant to the gut lining, and can often be tolerated without causing symptoms.   Children’s food intolerance symptoms can occur immediately after eating the offending food but they can also take 12 to 24 hours to develop.  Because there is no immune involvement, children’s allergy testing will not identify a childhood food intolerance.   Signs...

  Children’s Diarrhoea is often a symptom of an underlying condition, for example, it could be related to children’s food intolerances or a childhood infection in the digestive tract.  Children’s diarrhoea is marked by the frequent passage of loose, watery stools.  Persistent childhood diarrhoea becomes a problem because nutrients aren’t being absorbed from food which can lead to conditions such as malnutrition if not treated.  There is also a risk of dehydration which is a particular concern with infants and requires immediate medical attention if it persists for more than a few days.

Signs & Symptoms of Childhood Depression include: ✅ Fatigue and loss of...

Children’s constipation is a common problem, your child should have one or two bowel movements each day.  If your child suffers from bad moods, children’s anxiety, childhood depression or poor immunity, constipation could be an underlying cause.
