Baby Gut Health

FPIES isn't rare—it's just misdiagnosed. And that means thousands of babies are suffering while parents are being told "it's just gastro."
If your baby has ever had severe projectile vomiting hours after eating, turned pale and lethargic, and you ended up in the ER only to be sent home with "probably just a stomach bug"—this episode is for you.
In this episode, I'm diving deep into FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome), a dramatically underdiagnosed food allergy that affects far more children than the official 1 in 100 statistic suggests.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:
What FPIES actually is (and the two types: acute and chronic)
 Why FPIES is so commonly misdiagnosed as gastro, reflux, or colic
 The four main reasons FPIES flies under the radar in conventional medicine
 How to recognize FPIES in your child (red flags and symptom patterns)
 Why standard allergy tests (skin prick and IgE blood tests) come back negative
 Common FPIES trigger foods and what to watch for
 The limitations of the conventional "wait and see" approach
Why avoidance alone doesn't address the root cause
  How a gut-first, root-cause approach can support healing NOW (instead of waiting 2-3 years)

This Episode Is For:
- Parents wondering if their baby might have FPIES
 - Families newly diagnosed with FPIES feeling overwhelmed and looking for guidance
 - Parents who've been managing FPIES for a while and want more than "just wait until they grow out of it"

Are Allergies on the Rise? The Real Reasons No One’s Talking About
Are food allergies more common than ever? Or are we just more aware? In this episode, I break down why allergies are skyrocketing—and what this actually means for our babies.
I cover:
Why 1 in 10 babies now have a food allergy (and why Australia tops the list globally)
The three root causes behind this rise—gut health, immune confusion and outdated food introduction advice
The missing link in most medical advice (and why focusing on just one nutrient isn’t enough)
What to do before introducing allergens—especially if you're anxious about reactions
My clinical insights on how nutrition, microbiome support and the timing of exposure can fast-track allergy healing
Whether your little one is already reacting or you're just starting solids, this episode is packed with practical steps to reduce risk, ease anxiety and feel more confident in your baby’s food journey.

What food intolerances actually are (and how they differ from allergies)
Common signs of food intolerance in babies and toddlers
