    Episode 263: Most Microbiome Tests for Kids Are Being Misinterpreted — Here’s What Parents Need To Know

    31/05/2026 | 23 mins.
    How to Interpret Paediatric Microbiome Testing Correctly (and What Most Parents Aren’t Told)
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about one of the biggest issues we are seeing in children’s health right now, the misinterpretation of paediatric microbiome testing.
    With more families turning to gut microbiome testing to understand eczema, allergies, digestive symptoms, immune issues, and overall health, it’s becoming increasingly important for parents to understand that children’s microbiome results cannot be interpreted the same way as adults’.
    We share key insights from a recent paediatric microbiome mentoring program with Dr Brad Leech. During this, Dr Brad explained the common mistakes that can lead to unnecessary supplementation, restrictive diets, and incorrect “leaky gut” diagnoses in children, which we wanted to share with you today.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why most microbiome tests for kids use adult reference ranges that may not apply to children
    The truth about zonulin, secretory IgA, and microbiome diversity scores in kids under 12
    Why a child’s age, diet, breastfeeding history, and immune development matter when interpreting results
    How the right practitioner and the right testing technology can make a huge difference in getting useful, accurate information
    🎧 Tune in to learn why low microbiome diversity is not always a bad thing in young children, why some gut test results may be misunderstood, and how to approach paediatric microbiome testing in a more informed and balanced way.

    Episode 262: Why Most Kids with Eczema and Allergies Don’t Get Better (And The 3 Things We Do Differently)

    24/05/2026 | 23 mins.
    Why Some Kids With Eczema and Allergies Stay Stuck in a Cycle of Flare-Ups
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about why so many children with eczema and allergies stay stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, food reactions, congestion, poor sleep, and constant symptom management, even after trying creams, elimination diets, supplements, and allergy testing.
    We share the 3 biggest differences in the Natural Super Kids approach to eczema and allergies, and why looking at the bigger immune picture can make such a difference for long-term results.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why eczema and allergies are often treated as separate problems instead of connected immune system issues
    What standard allergy testing can miss when it comes to histamine, sensitivities, and immune dysregulation
    The gut-skin-immune connection and how gut health can influence eczema, congestion, inflammation, and food reactions
    Why individualised, realistic support works better than restrictive diets and overwhelming protocols
    🎧Tune in to learn more about the deeper drivers behind eczema and allergies, why many children don’t improve with symptom-focused approaches alone, and how a more holistic, sustainable strategy can support your child’s skin, gut, immune system, sleep, and overall wellbeing.

    4 Eczema Root Causes in Children: Why Your Child’s Skin Needs a Personalised Approach
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about why eczema is never “just a skin condition” and how four real-life cases reveal completely different root causes behind similar symptoms.
    If you’ve tried creams, removed foods, and still feel like you’re guessing what’s driving your child’s eczema, this episode will help you see the bigger picture.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why eczema can look the same on the outside but have completely different root causes internally
    Common drivers of eczema including histamine issues, gut health, food allergies, and environmental triggers
    Why removing a food (like dairy or gluten) isn’t always enough to heal eczema
    How a holistic, personalised approach can lead to real, long-term improvements
    🎧Tune in to learn how to better understand your child’s eczema, what clues to look for, and why a tailored approach is key to real healing.

    Episode 260: Your child is vomiting hours after eating - could it be FPIES, not gastro or reflux?

    10/05/2026 | 17 mins.
    FPIES Symptoms in Babies: Why Vomiting Hours After Eating Isn’t Just Gastro or Reflux
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re talking about FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome) a lesser-known type of food allergy that doesn’t look like a typical allergic reaction.
    Instead of immediate symptoms like hives or swelling, FPIES often shows up as delayed, intense vomiting hours after eating, which is why it’s so commonly mistaken for gastro, reflux, or a random illness. For many parents, this leads to a long and confusing journey before getting real answers.
    In this episode, we explore:
    Why your child may be vomiting hours after eating (and why it’s often missed)
    The key signs it could be FPIES, not gastro or reflux
    Why allergy tests come back normal, even when reactions are severe
    The most common trigger foods and how to start identifying patterns
    🎧 Tune in to better understand what FPIES actually is, how to recognise the patterns, and how to feel more confident navigating your child’s symptoms, diagnosis, and next steps with the right support.

    Episode 259: Your Child Reacts to Everything — Could It Be MCAS or Histamine Intolerance, Not Just Allergies?

    03/05/2026 | 18 mins.
    Why Your Child Reacts to Everything: Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS in Kids
    This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re unpacking one of the more confusing and complex allergy-related pictures we see in kids — when symptoms don’t follow a clear pattern, allergy testing comes back normal, but your child is still clearly reacting to something.
    If your child seems to react to multiple foods, heat, stress, exercise, strong smells, or seemingly random environmental triggers, this episode will help you better understand what may be going on beneath the surface. We’re talking about histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and mast cell dysregulation — and why these issues are often missed or misunderstood.
    In this episode, we explore:
    What histamine intolerance actually is, and why it is about poor histamine breakdown, not just eating high histamine foods
    The difference between histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome, and mast cell dysregulation — and why symptoms can look so messy and unpredictable
    Why standard allergy testing often misses these issues, even when your child is clearly reacting
    How a more holistic approach focused on gut health, immune regulation, and inflammation can help calm the bigger picture
    🎧 Tune in to learn why your child may seem to react to everything, why allergy tests can come back normal even when something is clearly wrong, and how to start approaching histamine and mast cell issues in a more grounded, practical, whole-child way.
