Happy Tummies, Happy Kids: A discussion of gut health and feeding development

For children to learn to enjoy eating, they must feel good inside. Helping children to have good gut health can enable them to want to come to the table and explore new foods.  In this talk, you will learn about symptoms of poor gut health, methods to help heal the gut, and when to call in the experts.  Practical ways to help with reflux, constipation, leaky gut, and immunity will be discussed.  Come and learn how happy tummies make happy kids!
