A Tired Child Screening

There are many causes for being tired such as iron deficiency anaemia, Vitamin deficiencies (Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vit E, B12, folate), mineral deficiencies (Zinc and Magnesium), hypothyrodisum, inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease, glandular fever, lyme disease, wheat allergy and post viral chronic fatigue. We can check these conditions through blood tests and stool test. Stool calprotectin is important to rule out occult Crohn’s disease. Lack of sleep or low mood can also cause chronic fatigue.

Sometimes, it is not possible to find out the true cause of your child fatigue. However, we are able to identify the real cause for your child’s tiredness in majority of the cases. It is a good idea to supplement your child with multivitamin tablets containing micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
