Welcome / About us
🌟 Welcome to My Little Tummy Aches
If your child has unexplained belly pains — and you’ve felt helpless, unsure whether it’s serious or just another “tummy ache” — you’re in the right place.
My Little Tummy Aches was founded by a pediatric gastroenterologist and parent who knows how overwhelming gastrointestinal (GI) issues in children can be. From chronic constipation to unexplained pain, bloating, or feeding struggles, we recognize the emotional and practical toll these concerns take on families.
Our mission is simple: to guide and empower parents with trustworthy knowledge, practical tools, and a community that understands. Whether you're just beginning this journey or deep in the weeds of doctor visits, diet changes, and unanswered questions — we’re here to help you feel more confident, less alone, and better equipped.
What You’ll Find Inside:
- ✅ Evidence-based guidance written in plain language — so you can finally understand what might be going on in your child’s gut
- 💬 A judgment-free parent community where you can ask questions, vent, and find hope in shared experiences
- 📊 Trackers, checklists, and symptom logs to help you advocate more clearly with doctors and monitor patterns over time
- 🎧 Expert interviews and blog posts covering everything from poop charts to probiotics, dietary changes to emotional wellness
- 🌟 A place for advocacy Share your stories with us. From what helped with strategies for blood draws, to infusions and treatments. Tell us how you manage medication schedules (everything childlife). A place to advocate for children's right to excellent healthcare
You don't need to figure this out alone. You deserve answers, support, and a path forward — and that's exactly what we're building here.
Join us and take your first step toward clarity, confidence, and calm.
Sincerely,
Our team @ mylittletummyaches.com
