Overcoming Stomach and Gut Issues in Kids
A while back I shared a product that really, truly, helped my son with his tummy problems. It’s called HyFiber for Kids and we buy it on Amazon. I shared it with you all because I know how awful it feels to see your child in pain and not be able to help them. And often, when there are co-existing conditions like autism, it’s even harder to find help.
Since I shared our success with HyFiber, I have received so much positive feedback from my followers! I was seriously stoked. Helping families navigate the unknown is why I do this.
Jenny from Iowa: Kate, I can’t thank you enough. I have tried everything possible to help my daughter with her constipation and found nothing that worked. We started HyFiber after you recommended it and my daughter feels so much better. THANK YOU!
The product is a clear liquid fiber/prebiotic and like I said above we found it on Amazon. I have been in touch with Medtrition (HyFiber for Kids) who is passionate about helping parents find solutions to improving gut health and bowel regularity for children. I passed along some of the questions I received for them to answer.
Additionally, Medtrition has opened a Facebook group titled Child Gut Health and Constipation Support where parents are welcome to discuss what has worked for them and to ask questions about HyFiber for Kids. To join CLICK HERE.
