All about Tummy Trumbles

 

Natural Kids Tummy Trumbles is a complex herbal and homeopathic remedy that is 100% safe and natural. Especially formulated for children, Tummy Trumbles comes in convenient drop form, making it easy to administer to children in a little water or their favourite juice.

 

All children experience a runny tummy at some point, usually due to a 'tummy bug' or something they have eaten. An upset tummy is very uncomfortable and can really make children feel terrible. No matter how many times they go the bathroom the urge keeps coming back again and the cramping stomach pains can be very distressing. Natural Kids Tummy Trumbles will help to reduce diarrhea as well as alleviate the associated cramps. The soothing ingredients in this unique formulation will calm your child’s distress, encourage rest and recovery and simultaneously boost the immune system.

 

Like all Feelgood Health products, Tummy Trumbles has been developed with care by our practising Clinical Psychologist, is 100% natural and manufactured  according to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Individual ingredients are well-researched and have been specially chosen for their high safety profile in childrens’ remedies.

 

What are the Ingredients?

 

Natural Kids Tummy Trumbles contains the following carefully chosen herbal and homeopathic ingredients in therapeutic dosages: 

 

Agrimonia Eupatoria (Agrimony) has a long history of use and was even used by the Ancient Greeks as a digestive tonic. Agrimony is an effective herb for treating diarrhoea and will also reduce colicky, cramping stomach pains. The analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties make Agrimony an ideal natural remedy for 'tummy bugs'.

Alchemilla Vulgaris (Lady’s Mantle) is an astringent herb (decreases secretions) that has been used since the Middle Ages for the treatment of diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Alchemilla also contains tannins, which form a protective layer in the digestive tract, as well as salicylic acid which will reduce pain and inflammation. Salicylic acid is present in a number of medicinal herbs and is a natural form of aspirin. Due to the natural buffering effect of whole spectrum herbs, this provides pain relieving properties without the side effects of pharmaceutical aspirin.

Zingiber officinalis (Ginger) has been used since ancient times in Asian, Arabic and Indian herbal traditions and is an excellent remedy for all digestive complaints. Ginger will not only help to treat diarrhoea but is also clinically proven to alleviate nausea and boost the immune system.

Podophyllum (6C) is a homeopathic remedy for profuse, explosive, watery diarrhoea that is usually preceded by abdominal rumbles and gurgles.

Arsen alb. (6C) is a homeopathic remedy that is particularly effective in treating diarrhoea accompanied by anxiety and restlessness

 

Tummy Trumbles contains less than 1% pure pharmaceutical grade ethanol when diluted as directed.

 

How has Tummy Trumbles helped other children?

 

“My daughter is at day care and picks up everything going. Every time she has an upset stomach she is so miserable and I battle to get her take anything in. I came across your Tummy Trumbles on the internet and decided to buy them for the next time. I used them last week and what a difference they made to her! Thank you for a really great product” Lorraine, AL

 

“I have a ten year old son who has quite a sensitive stomach which plays up often, even when he is anxious. My sister-in-law recommended Tummy Trumbles to me a few months ago and they have made such a difference to Tyrone – I will never be without them again” Mrs H Sheridan

 

“We have four children under the age of 8 so you can imagine how bugs are spread around our house. One of the things that they come home with the most often is diarrhea. Before we know it they have all come down with the bug and it is very difficult looking after them all. I tried your Tummy Trumbles mixture for the first time last month and it made such a difference – they all got better so much quicker and were much calmer and easier to look after. What a relief to find something that works!” Extremely Grateful Mom, Florida

 

 

How do I use Tummy Trumbles?

 

Directions:  Use one drop per age year of the child in approx. 1/4 glass of water or juice. May be repeated every three hours if necessary.

 

Caution: Not recommended for children under one year old unless under medical supervision. Please consult a doctor should symptoms persist.  

 

Note: May be used together with Natural Kids KiddieBoost, KiddieCool and KiddieVom Sprinkles

 

How long until I see results?

 

Your child should begin to show signs of improvement shortly after receiving the first dose of Tummy Trumbles. While some children will be fine after a single dose, others may need repeated doses, depending on the reason for the upset stomach.

 

How long will a bottle last?

 

This will depend on the dosage and frequency needed. Natural Kids Tummy Trumbles comes in an economical 50 ml bottle.

 

Information on Diarrhoea in Children

 

Please note that this information is offered for educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical attention. When in doubt, please consult your health practitioner. 

 

Diarrhoea Defined!

 

Diarrhoea is defined as the passage of frequent loose, watery, soft stools usually accompanied by stomach cramps, gas and a bloated feeling. It is one of the commonest illnesses in children and adults alike. It is estimated that children under 3 years of age experience at least 2 bouts of diarrhoea per year.

 

Most episodes of diarrhoea are short lived, self-limiting and can be managed effectively at home with supportive measures and the prevention of dehydration. Occasionally the diarrhoea is severe enough to warrant hospitalization and this is usually due to complications, such as dehydration, or to a serious infection.

 

Dehydration can be a very serious problem, even fatal if not treated properly. If the diarrhoea is accompanied by vomiting, the risk of your child becoming dehydrated is increased. As young children are particularly susceptible to dehydration, it is very important to monitor your child with diarrhoea and keep up their fluid intake. (see 'When should I worry' below)

 

What can cause diarrhoea?

 

There are a number of potential causes of acute (less than 14 days) diarrhoea in your child and these are the most common:

 

Viral infections – this is the most common cause and typically causes mild to moderate symptoms

• Frequent, watery bowel movements

•  Stomach cramps

• Low grade fever

• Vomiting may accompany the diarrhoea

• Generally lasts 3-7 days

Bacterial Infections. Bacterial infections tend to cause more serious cases of diarrhoea. The following symptoms may be present:

• Very frequent watery diarrhoea

• High fever

• Severe stomach cramps

• Vomiting is also often present

• Mucus, pus or blood in the stool (dysentery) in severe cases

Parasitic Infections – These causes are not as common and can resemble either viral or bacterial diarrhoea. Parasitic infections are usually picked up from contaminated water or from animals. When suspected the parasites can usually be identified in the stool.

 

Food Poisoning – Virtually any foodstuff can become contaminated with a virus, bacteria or parasite and can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. Symptoms are usually mild-moderate and may be as follows:

• Symptoms begin shortly after eating the contaminated food

• Mild-moderate diarrhoea, vomiting and cramps

• Most cases usually clear up relatively quickly, but can occasionally be very severe

• All persons who ate the contaminated food are usually affected

Antibiotics – Diarrhoea is a common side-effect of many antibiotics and prescription medications

 

While there are a number of causes of chronic, long term diarrhoea (e.g. food allergies) they are not as common and, except for Toddlers Diarrhoea, will not covered here.

 

What is Toddlers Diarrhoea?

 

Toddler’s Diarrhoea can be chronic and go on for a very long time. While it is not a serious condition it is usually very distressing and worrying for parents. Your doctor will first want to exclude other causes of chronic diarrhoea, before diagnosing your child with toddler’s diarrhoea, but typical symptoms are as follows:

• Usually occurs in children between 6 months and 3 years of age

• Loose watery stools but without a fever, vomiting or stomach pains

• Child will have a normal appetite and will be growing and developing normally

If your doctor suspects that your child has toddlers diarrhoea, try the following suggestions:

• Decrease the amount of fluids that your child drinks, especially juice. Many children with toddler’s diarrhoea tend to drink excessive amounts of juice

• Avoid fruit juices that are high in sorbitol or fructose - eg. store-bought apple juice and pear juice. Rather encourage your child to drink water or diluted, home made orange or grape juice.

• Cranberry juice is astringent and can help

• Increase the amount of fat and fibre in your child’s diet

• Experiment with eliminating wheat and dairy products from the diet one at a time for a week or two.

A word of encouragement – if your little one does have toddler’s diarrhoea just remember that it will not last forever. Children usually grow out of it without any complications! 

 

How will I know if my child is dehydrated?

 

Diarrhoea and vomiting can lead to dehydration if too much fluid is lost from the body. Dehydration is a sign of potentially serious disease and can come on very quickly in babies and children. Signs of dehydration to watch out for include: 

• Dry mouth

• Sunken eyes

• Not urinating as often as normal or less wet nappies than normal

• Urine that is darker then normal

• Loss of appetite and weight

• Thirsty

• Irritability – babies can show thirst by crying and being very irritable and then eager to drink when something is offered

• Fast heartbeat

• No tears when crying

• The fontanel (soft spot on the top of your baby’s head) is sunken

• Your baby is sleepy or lethargic and won’t take a bottle

• Skin doesn’t feel as springy as normal

If you are at all concerned that your child may be showing signs of dehydration please seek urgent medical attention.  

 

What can I do to at home to care for my child?

 

Lots of tender loving care, plenty of fluids and Natural Kids Tummy Trumbles will go a long way to helping your child. You can try these practical home suggestions to help look after little one:

 

·         Drink lots of fluids. Offer young babies a bottle very frequently and try to get your older child to drink plenty of water or clear fluids

·         You can offer a rehydration fluid as this contains not only water but also all the important electrolytes (salts) that are lost in the stool

·         Rehydration solutions are available commercially or you can make one up yourself by adding one teaspoon of salt and 8 teaspoons of sugar to one litre of previously boiled water.

·         If your baby or child can’t keep down a full bottle or glass try to give very small volumes at frequent intervals. As they improve increase the volume of fluid given at each occasion.

·         Let your older child suck on ice chips (not for toddlers or babies!)

·         Avoid fatty, greasy, sugary foods. Offer the BRAT diet – bananas, rice, applesauce and toast

·         Avoid caffeinated beverages as caffeine can cause your body to lose more fluid

·         Try to avoid dairy products as they can worsen the diarrhoea

 

Your child should show great improvement within a couple of days. If you feel that no significant improvement is being made, if your child is getting worse or you are at all concerned about dehydration please contact your health care provider as a matter of urgency. 

 

When should I worry?

 

Diarrhoea is usually well managed with home care, but if any of the following apply to your child, please contact your health care provider:

 

·         You have any concerns that your child may be dehydrated or you need advice about preventing dehydration

·         Your baby is less than 6 months old

·         Your baby or child is unable to tolerate anything to drink or eat for more than a few hours

·         Your child has an extremely high temperature

·         There is any blood or mucous in the stool

·         If your child has a stiff neck, appears lethargic or is very sleepy - seek emergency medical attention

·         If your child’s symptoms don’t improve within 2 or 3 days or seem to be getting worse

·         If your child has significant stomach pain

·         If you have recently been abroad with your child

How can I prevent my child from getting diarrhoea?

 

Many cases of diarrhoea are rapidly spread from one child to another, especially in places where lots of children are together such as day care or school. These simple tips will help you to prevent the spread of diarrhoea:

 

·         Get children to wash their hands after using the bathroom

·         Wash your hands after changing diapers (nappies)

·         Avoid unpasteurized milk and other dairy products

·         Use care when preparing raw meat and poultry and cook meat at the recommended temperatures

·         Wash utensils used to chop raw meat well in hot soapy water

·         Fruit and vegetables that are going to be eaten raw should be well rinsed in clean water

·         Take precautions with water supply and food when travelling abroad
