The role of food in chronic illnesses in children

Andrea Mara speaks to paediatric neurologist Dr Maya Shetreat-Klein about the role certain foods play in daily chronic illnesses and conditions in children.

I have three children, all of whom eat (pretty much) the same food, and have a (fairly) healthy diet, but for reasons I can’t explain, one of them suffers regularly from tummy pain.

This is exactly the kind of case study covered in Healthy Food, Healthy Gut, Happy Child – The Real Dirt On Raising Healthy Kids In A Processed World, a new book by US paediatric neurologist Dr Maya Shetreat-Klein.
