Children suffer and parents worry when stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, and bloating become chronic and these problems can be disruptive to the whole family. In an age of advanced medical technology, why are so many children still suffering? In The Gut Solution, Drs. Lawson and Del Pozo reveal the best solution available for functional gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and recurrent abdominal pain (RAP). Their program, SEEDS, encompasses the essential information and guidance to help families manage these common and often difficult digestive problems. The Gut Solution walks parents and caregivers through SEEDS (Stress Management, Education, Exercise, Diet & Sleep) clearly explaining not only the underlying physiological and biological issues at play, but the neurological, behavioral, and emotional factors in irritable bowel syndrome and abdominal pain and most importantly, what can be done about it. SEEDS is a highly successful program that has been taught to more than 400 children since 2006 with sustained positive results. The results were presented and received critical acclaim at the prestigious AGA Research Symposium at Digestive Disease week in Orlando, Florida in 2013.
