Specialist nutrition care for children with complex gut conditions.
Support for children experiencing gut discomfort, digestive symptoms, and complex gastrointestinal conditions.
Clarity and support for your child’s digestive wellbeing
Digestive issues can impact your child’s comfort, appetite, growth, and confidence — and for parents, they can feel confusing, worrying, and difficult to manage alone. At Cubs Paediatric Dietetics, we help families make sense of what’s going on, offering clear, evidence-based support for everything from constipation and tummy pain to complex gastrointestinal conditions.
Whether your child is experiencing ongoing digestive symptoms, has recently received a diagnosis, or you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to guide you with practical, family-centred advice.
How We Help
Every child’s digestive story is unique. We take the time to understand your child’s symptoms, feeding history, growth patterns, routines, and medical background so we can provide recommendations that feel both achievable and truly supportive.
Our approach is gentle, thorough, and always informed by the latest paediatric gastroenterology evidence. We help families manage symptoms, protect growth, and create nutrition plans that are realistic for everyday life. We also collaborate closely with paediatricians, gastroenterologists, and allied health professionals to ensure your child’s care is cohesive and comprehensive.
Common concerns we can help with include:
We assess feeding patterns, growth, and possible triggers to ease discomfort and improve feeding tolerance for infants and children.
Practical, evidence-based adjustments to diet, fluids, fibre, and routines to support regular, comfortable bowel habits.
Clear guidance to help families confidently manage a lifelong gluten-free diet while protecting growth, comfort, and nutrient intake.
Tailored elimination diets, step-by-step food challenges, and long-term nutrition strategies to keep diets safe, balanced, and achievable.
Nutritional support for symptom management, growth monitoring, exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN), and ongoing collaboration with medical teams.
Child-friendly approaches to managing bloating, pain, and irregular stools using evidence-based dietary strategies.
Specialist nutrition planning to support absorption, hydration, growth, and long-term gastrointestinal health.
Feeding strategies that ease symptoms, protect nutrition, and support coordinated care with surgical and medical teams.
