If your child has eczema that keeps coming back, gets constipated for days at a time, or has had one ear infection after another, this episode is for you. These usually get treated as three separate problems by three different specialists.

This week's guest, Dr. Sheila Kilbane says they are often one problem showing up in three places, and dairy is frequently part of it.

She is a board certified pediatrician who trained in integrative medicine at the University of Arizona.

She did not set out to change how she practiced. She just kept listening to moms who told her their child improved after cutting dairy, and eventually she went looking for why.

In this episode she walks through the case that changed everything. She explains the cup of inflammation, which is the simplest way I have heard anyone describe why symptoms cluster. She covers what to do first, why she starts with magnesium, why you should never stop dairy cold turkey, and how to protect your child's bones while you do it.

Your child is not a difficult case. Their cup is just full.
