Although textbooks state constipation is less than 3 bowel movements every week, I was taught as a nutritionist that less than 1 bowel movement a day actually means you are constipated.  

Normal transit time for food to be eaten to pooped out is between 17 and 24 hours.  Longer than 24 hours and it means the body is storing and possibly circulating toxins throughout the body.

Signs of constipation include:

- bowel movements less than every 24 hours

- straining when trying to poop

- the time between bowel movements is more than 24 hours

- tummy aches

- large hard stools

- stools that contain "poop balls" even if  stuck together

Basically, if a bowel movement isn't happening at least once every 24 hours then it is likely that you are constipated.  

Most of the time there is no easy way to resolve constipation. Constipation is a complex issue.  

This program is for those parents with a constipated child at least 16 months old who 

- want to learn how to help their child painlessly poop every day

- understand that there are NO quick fixes to constipation AND that relieving constipation is a complex situation that takes time and effort to resolve

- will follow the program and take the necessary steps to implement what they are learning

- want to create a holistic treatment plan without the use of medications and laxatives 

- are willing to make changes to their child's and family's eating habits

- are willing to use recommended supplements to help their child

This program is NOT for parents who

- refuse to stop the use of laxatives or medications

- are looking for a fast-track solution to resolve their child's constipation

- don't have the time or energy to make changes recommended to help their child.

Please note that if your child has complex health issues this program won't address those but it can help you help your chid poop daily.  

If you aren't sure if this program will help you help your child, please book a free 20-minute call to discuss further.  (You can sign up for a free call from www.CRaP4Kids.com)

If your child is under 16 months please look for my CRaP4Babies program on www.CRaP4Kids.com.  This is an intensive 3-month program designed for both mom and baby!

The program includes 4 weeks of video lessons and coaching, 10 LIVE Q&A meet-ups, supplement recommendations for step 1, online Q&A support, a community of like-minded parents, and accountability.  

These 4 weeks help to fast-track parents through Step 1 of the CRaP4Kids program - helping kids poop every day. 

Note:  these 4 weeks will not provide help on finding the underlying cause (although we will discuss how to do so) nor the steps to take to heal the gut.  This program is to help parents through the struggles of helping their child poop every single day and troubleshoot issues as they arise.  

Consider how much it costs for just one appointment with a practitioner and the amount of support you'll receive in a month to conquer Step 1! 

This is a question to ask at the end of this Quickstart as it is part of Step 2: Finding the Underlying Cause of the Constipation. 

Gut testing is highly recommended as part of Step 2, as it helps to pinpoint what issues may be existing internally.  

During the later weeks of this program, you will learn what the different test results mean and how to apply that information when deciding how to move forward at the end of our 4 weeks together. 

The cost of the 4-week Step 1 Pooping Everyday Quickstart program is $57 USD for unlimited online support. 

Imagine being able to enjoy the upcoming holidays knowing that your child will be able to painlessly poop daily and you won't need to worry about it!!!   

Wouldn't you like to accomplish that in a fun, kid-centred way with a group of other likeminded parents doing the exact same thing as you? 

This fee does not include the cost of supplements. 

 Purchasing supplements will be your decision and participating in this program does not mean you must purchase the supplements recommended although only supplements already known to work will be recommended. 

Recommendations are made based on knowledge of clean quality products and how effective they have been helping other children of various different ages. 

Constipation is a complex issue that involves multiple steps, including helping your child to poop painlessly daily (without the use of laxatives) then working finding the underlying cause and healing the gut.  And gut healing takes time - often months and sometimes even years.  

So, no, your child's constipation will not be resolved in 4 weeks. What you will learn will be enough to help your child poop daily through the holiday time and return to school or programs in January still pooping daily!    What you will need to then decide is are you ready to move onto Steps 2 and 3 - finding the underlying cause(s) and healing your child's gut. 

Through this Quickstart, I'm here to support you out of the muck and finding the peace you want for the holidays! 

This program is for you if 

• you've been trying to help your child poop daily with no improvement
• your child is withholding  and you are unsure how to help
• you want a proven method scientifically backed to follow that will help your child poop daily, help determine the underlying cause(s), and heal the gut
• you want a program designed specifically to help children and uses supplements and guidance designed specifically for children.

I’m a clinical pediatric (holistic) nutritionist and a mom.  I have spent the last 10 years focused on pediatric gut health for neurotypical children and those with special needs.  I have become one of the world's leading experts on constipation relief in children by helping hundreds of children around the world poop painlessly and improve their gut health, which is crucial to ensure all body systems are functioning optimally.  

I understand how difficult it is to try to help your child while trying to parent all your children, be a spouse, work, manage a home and everything else life throws at you. It helps when someone can guide you through this journey. 

My focus is always to help parents help their kids. Protocols for kids need to be kid-focused, not re-designed adult protocols tried on children.

I’ve spent hours looking for and developing child-friendly ways to help your children.

I will always recommend starting from where your child is at and the focus is on ensuring that you maintain the trust of your child and a close relationship with him or her.

I help you focus not just on the physical issue of constipation and/or withholding, but on the emotional and cognitive components of this too as a parent.

And as a parent I fully understand the trauma this complex issue causes for parents and the family.  Knowing that you're not alone and that there is not only hope but a solution that can be implemented BY YOU is priceless!  

Let me walk this journey with you!  xo
