Helping Parents Navigate Food Intolerances: From Concern to Confidence
Did you know that up to 20% of people have a food intolerance, according to "Medical News Today"?
Gluten and dairy intolerance are no longer the only types. Bananas, avocados, milk, cheese, wheat, barley, and other foods can all be at fault. Does this 20% include your child?
Children's food intolerances can present in various ways, and the intensity of the symptoms can change.
This is for you if you're a parent of a child who has a food intolerance and you've seen them struggle with bloating, upset tummies, constipation, behavioral changes, eczema, sleep problems, or headaches.
We want to delve into the world of food intolerances and equip you with the knowledge you need to take care of and manage your child's troubles.
We are here to help if you've tried supplements and exclusion diets without results. Let's investigate the underlying reasons, concentrating on the remarkable vagus nerve, which is important for your child's brain-gut communication.
Understanding Food Intolerance - Get the Scoop About Food Sensitivity
Food intolerance, also known as food sensitivity, happens when the body has trouble digesting certain foods.
Specific foods trigger sensitivity in the gut, making them difficult to tolerate. These troublesome foods may cause uncomfortable symptoms in children with food intolerance, such as gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
Food intolerances are frequently attributed to inadequate enzyme synthesis in the digestive system by conventional medicine.
However, this rationale ignores the fundamental causes of the physiological responses to particular diets.
Additionally, you might have been referred to a gastroenterologist who advised you to stop eating certain foods, which might be beneficial for symptom relief. yet that's challenging to do for your child in today's culture, and it entirely ignores the underlying issue.
We must comprehend why your child's digestive system and intestines are so delicate and harmed.
Dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve
We must look at how the brain and gut communicate with one another, which is regulated by the vagus nerve, in order to fully understand the underlying causes of your child's food intolerance.
Between the brainstem and the digestive system, this enormous sensory nerve makes a number of stops.
Many of your child's health problems, particularly digestive problems, may be significantly influenced by the vagus nerve.
Food intolerances can also have a detrimental impact on your child's sleep, behavior, emotions, and mood regulation because of the strong connection between the gut and the brain made by the vagus nerve, which increases this struggle for both you and your child.
Birth Trauma Impact
When we look more closely, we might discover that your child's case involved birth trauma of some kind, such as extended labor, forceps, vacuum, or C-section.
All of these interventions have the potential to induce physical trauma, which can result in subluxation and a stress reaction in the neurological system.
The vagus nerve originates and transmits from the upper neck and brainstem region, which might be damaged during delivery.
This vagus nerve imbalance has the potential to negatively affect how well the gut functions, which can cause issues with food absorption, digesting, and toxin removal.
Alterations in the gut's signaling may increase inflammation and make people more sensitive to popular foods, turning mild food sensitivities into intolerances.
This explains why your child who has a hard time with food intolerances may have started off with immune issues like ear infections or asthma or reflux, colic, or a weakened immune system.
The Role of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care

INSiGHT Scanning Technology
In order to assess and identify the stress on your child's nervous system, our office uses INSiGHT scans. We are able to measure the stress and determine its specific location, quantity, and intensity.
This makes it possible to develop a personalized care plan to correct the subluxations and relieve stress.
Initial Exam STRESSED
When the neurospinal system is stressed a decrease in function results. INSiGHT scanning allows us to look deeply into the spinal nerve connections and understand the impact these subluxations have on the overall health of the patient. Note one sided red and blue lines.
