Practical support for children living with IBS.
We provide clear, gentle strategies to ease IBS symptoms and support your child’s comfort and wellbeing.
Making sense of IBS in children.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can cause discomfort, anxiety, and disruption to daily life. Children may experience pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or unpredictable symptoms that make mealtimes stressful. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we help families make sense of IBS and manage it with clarity and confidence. Using evidence-based dietary strategies, we assess your child’s diet and symptom patterns, explore potential food triggers in a structured and safe way, and support balanced nutrition alongside symptom relief. When further investigation is needed, we work closely with medical teams to ensure care is comprehensive and well coordinated.
Common concerns we can help with:
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Bloating and discomfort
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- Alternating bowel habits
- Food-related anxiety
- Identifying and managing trigger foods
