🌟 Welcome to My Little Tummy Aches 🌟

If your child has unexplained belly pains — and you’ve felt helpless, you’re in the right place. We are a free to join and post community for parents and young adults with gastrointestinal illnesses.

My Little Tummy Aches was founded by a pediatric gastroenterologist and parent who knows gastrointestinal (GI) issues in children first hand. From chronic constipation to unexplained pain, bloating, or feeding struggles, we recognize the emotional and practical toll these concerns take on families. We also welcome the G tube and IBD parent communities to join us.

Our mission is to create a destination that empowers parents with community building and practical tools by other parents. 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 each other out.

We thrive through our open access to social media. Please give us a follow and feel free to ask and collaborate to support a good cause related to pediatric GI care.
