Children's Health

When a child is unsettled, uncomfortable or covered in a rash that will not clear, it is worrying and exhausting for the whole family. Tummy troubles, skin flare-ups, disrupted sleep and unexplained irritability are common — and food triggers are frequently involved.

When a child is unsettled, uncomfortable or covered in a rash that will not clear, it is worrying and exhausting for the whole family. Tummy troubles, skin flare-ups, disrupted sleep and unexplained irritability are common — and food triggers are frequently involved.

The clinic offers a gentle, non-invasive assessment suitable for children from three months of age, giving parents clear answers and a practical way forward.

How food triggers affect children

Children can be just as reactive to foods and food chemicals as adults — sometimes more so. Because little ones cannot always explain how they feel, triggers often show up as skin, tummy, sleep or behaviour changes instead.

Identifying these triggers early can bring welcome relief and support healthy growth and development.

The Assessment

How our gentle assessment works for children

The assessment is completely non-invasive and comfortable, making it well suited to children. It screens a range of foods and chemicals to identify what a child’s body is reacting to.

Parents receive clear, practical guidance rather than a long list of foods to anxiously avoid.

Your Recovery Plan

A family-friendly recovery plan

Your child’s plan is designed to be realistic for family life — focusing on reducing key triggers while keeping meals nourishing, varied and child-friendly.

Many parents notice calmer skin, settled tummies, better sleep and a happier child once triggers are addressed, with follow-up support as your child grows.
