Discovering the Gut-Brain Connection
When our young son began to face speech delays, neurological symptoms, and unpredictable regressions, we knew something deeper was going on. Standard answers didn’t fit, and progress was fragile. As a researcher with a PhD—but not a medical doctor—I turned to what I know best: evidence, patterns, and data. That led us to explore the critical links between gut health, immune function, and the brain. Along the way, we discovered how easily key clues are missed—especially if a child is taken off gluten before proper testing. This site was created to share what we’ve learned. If you're facing unexplained symptoms, regression, or developmental delays in your child, there may be clues hiding in the gut too.
About Gut Clues
Our Journey
With a background in academic research and a passion for uncovering patterns in complex systems, I began connecting the dots between gut health and developmental challenges. This site was born from that journey. It’s a place to share insights, tools, and resources that might help other families asking similar questions.
Please note: GutClues is not a medical website. Nothing here should be taken as diagnosis or treatment advice. It’s a resource for information, support, and empowerment—but always consult with qualified healthcare providers for your child’s care.
Resources
This section offers curated tools, articles, and references to help families better understand the connection between gut health, immune function, and childhood development. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to dive deeper into specific topics like gluten sensitivity, microbiome testing, or speech delays, you'll find practical information and evidence-based insights here. While these resources are not a substitute for medical advice, they are intended to support informed conversations with your healthcare providers and empower you to advocate for your child with confidence.
