Constipation is one of the most common reasons parents call the pediatrician—and for good reason. In this Blueberry Doctors Roundtable, Dr. Lyndsey Garbi is joined by pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Sari Kay and general pediatrician Dr. Rachel Tellez to break down everything you need to know about your child’s gut health. From poop color and frequency to behavioral causes and effective treatment strategies, this candid conversation gets into the real (and often messy) details of childhood constipation.

Dr. Sari Kay is a board-certified pediatrician and pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in all things GI, from chronic constipation to complex digestive disorders. Dr. Rachel Tellez brings over two decades of experience as a general pediatrician and a relatable, practical approach to helping families navigate everyday health concerns.

You’ll learn:

• What normal bowel movements actually look like by age
• When poop color is something to worry about
• Why so many kids start withholding at school or during toilet training
• What parents can do—at home and with their doctor—to prevent and treat constipation
• When to treat with diet, behavior changes, or medication
• What red flags mean it’s time to see a specialist

Whether you're in the thick of toilet training or managing chronic GI issues, this episode has the answers you’ve been holding out for.
