Children are not simply small adults. Their digestive systems take time to mature, and are very different from an adult's; a child's digestive enzymes aren't as efficient or as plentiful. Children metabolize things differently, are less able to assimilate nutrients, and their bodies react differently to what they ingest – medications for example.
However, they are just as vulnerable to digestive ailments as adults. And with children, it's even more crucial than it is with adults to implement preventive, digestive-health strategies; their health has to serve them for much longer than it does the rest of us.
Also, those who experience problems as infants or children are more likely than those who don't to develop serious digestive and other health problems in adulthood, including brittle bones, an increased risk of infertility, and cancer1.
Many experts believe that the overall health of infants and children is strongly tied to the health of their digestive system, the lining of which is the doorway to the outside world, as well as the largest part of a child's immune system.
Good habits begin early in life. Parents can achieve peace of mind by doing all they can to foster the health of their child's digestive system. Start your child's school year off right by giving them everything they need to alleviate symptoms of any digestive disorders they're struggling with, prevent potential future illnesses, and set them on the road to lifelong digestive wellness.
We all have experienced digestive issues at some point. The discomfort is even more difficult for a child - who may not be able to easily put into words what they're experiencing.
This Children's Health section addresses the following digestive issues - specifically relating to children:
