Persistent digestive issues in children? Study reveals it may hint at this neurodevelopmental disorder

Children who frequently struggle with gut issues may have one of the causes as a neurodevelopmental disorder.

If your child suffers from prolonged gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhoea or bloating, abdominal pain, one of the origins may surprise you because it is unusual. It could be linked to a neurodevelopmental disorder. A large-scale study published on August 28, 2025, revealed that children with autism are almost twice as likely to experience gastrointestinal problems. It was published in the journal of Autism.

Digestive issues more common in autism

Autistic kids suffer from poor communication skills.
Autistic kids suffer from poor communication skills.

Commonly, autism impacts how a person communicates and interacts. The main challenges lie in communication and social situations. Children with autism were twice as likely to experience gastrointestinal problems. Moreover, the researchers shed light on the neurodevelopmental disorder’s impact on physical health, particularly the gut, because children with autism sometimes experience multiple gut-related problems simultaneously.

Sleep disturbances

Another problem noted was that autistic children with gastrointestinal issues experienced more sleep disturbances, along with higher anxiety and increased sensitivity.

Implications

So if your child experiences regular digestive problems, like diarrhoea, constipation, or bloating, don’t brush it off as a poor diet or other physical health-related problems. Gut issues can also point to something broader, like neurodevelopmental differences, and not just ordinary digestive upset. Instead of self-medicating your child because these gut issues appear common, it’s essential to visit a doctor who can correctly identify the cause. Early evaluation from a doctor helps to manage both the digestive problem and diagnose if there’s any likelihood of autism.

Jimmy Kimmel remains one of the most recognizable faces in late-night television. Since launching Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2003, the Emmy-winning host has welcomed countless A-list celebrities to his stage—and even taken on the Oscars, hosting the Academy Awards four times, most recently in 2024. But beyond the spotlight, Jimmy is a devoted family man. He’s a proud father of four: daughter Katie and son Kevin from his first marriage to Gina Maddy, and daughter Jane and son Billy with his wife, Jimmy Kimmel Live! co-head writer and executive producer Molly McNearney.

We know so much about Jimmy, but what about his children? Below, Hollywood Life has rounded up everything you need to know about all four of the comedian’s kids.

Katie Kimmel

Katie Kimmel was born in 1991. She came into the world three years after her parents tied the knot. Jimmy was 24 years old when Katie was born and he was struggling financially. “I would work from 4 in the morning till around 11 in the morning, and at the time my ex-wife worked too,” he said in a 2017 interview with Vulture. “So I’d pick Katie up from day care as quickly as I could, because we couldn’t afford the $5 an hour to keep her there longer. I’d have her all day till 6 or 6:30, when my ex-wife got home. That was a hard schedule. I was exhausted all the time.”

But Jimmy and Gina — who divorced in 2002 — did a great job at raising Katie. She went to college at The School of Art Institute of Chicago and now she has her own business selling her own home goods and artwork, which she promotes on Instagram. In Sept. 2021, Katie married her longtime boyfriend Will Logsdon. Jimmy appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show before the wedding and talked so highly about his son-in-law. “I’ll tell you, the guy is great,” Jimmy said. “His name is Will and he’s a great guy. And if he wasn’t, he’d be dead right now. That’s how we operate in my family.”

Kevin Kimmel

Kevin Kimmel was born in 1993. His parents got divorced when he was 10 years old, but he maintained close relationships with both of them as he continued to grow up. Kevin frequently posts his famous father on his Instagram, where he’s very active. He’s even partially followed in Jimmy’s footsteps by pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. He worked in the sound department on several television shows including Survivor  and Big Brother.

Kevin got married to his girlfriend Nicole at Jimmy’s fly fishing lodge in Idaho in September 2022. Kevin is always gushing over his wife in the sweetest Instagram posts. On Valentine’s Day 2023, Kevin snapped a pic of Nicole, and wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life and the love of her life, a French lemon coconut cake @nicolekimmel.”

Jane Kimmel

Jane Kimmel, Jimmy’s third child, and his first with Molly McNearney, was born in July 2014. Jimmy revealed that Jane was named after his grandmother. “It’s really great,” he told PEOPLE in 2015 about raising Jane. “It does add a little bit of joy to each day. Maybe more than a little bit.”

Before Jimmy had Jane, he admitted that he forgot what it was like raising babies, since Kevin and Katie were both born over 20 years earlier. “It’s funny because I was just with some friends who just had a baby. I was like, ‘Oh, ya.’ And there are new ways to do things,” he said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Over the years, Jimmy has shared the cutest stories about baby Jane both on his talk show and on social media. In 2020, he revealed that Jane, who was only 6 years old at the time, was extremely invested in the outcome of the Presidential Election. In September 2022, Jimmy revealed that Jane lost her first tooth, and the “Tooth Fairy” left her $20!

Billy Kimmel

Billy Kimmel, Jimmy and Molly’s youngest child, was born in April 2017. Billy was born with a congenital heart condition and had to undergo three heart surgeries. Jimmy has been very open about Billy’s harrowing health struggle. “It’s a terrifying thing,” Jimmy said on the May 1, 2017 episode of his show. “You know, my wife is back in the recovery room, she has no idea what’s going on, and I’m standing in the middle of a lot of worried-looking people – kind of like right now – who were trying to figure out what the problem is.” Jimmy also called Billy’s open-heart surgery at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles “the longest three hours of my life.”

Every year on Billy’s birthday, Jimmy expresses how grateful he is for the medical care that his son got in the hospital. When Billy turned 5, Jimmy wrote on Instagram, “Happy 5th birthday to our little nut. We are eternally grateful to the brilliant doctors and nurses at @ChildrensLA & @CedarsSinai for saving Billy’s life and to those of you whose donations, prayers, and positive thoughts meant everything. Please support families who need medical care.”

Cardi B confirmed that she and her boyfriend, Stefon Diggs, are expecting their first child together! Weeks after pregnancy rumors circulated, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper made the announcement during a CBS Mornings interview in September 2025. Though the couple have been together for a minute, fans are curious about the man who captured Cardi’s heart after her divorce from ex-husband Offset. So, does Stefon have kids from a previous relationship?

During her conversation with CBS’ Gayle King, Cardi — who had just completed a highly publicized trial and announced an upcoming arena tour — said Stefon “makes [her] feel safe and very confident and very strong.”

“Two weeks ago, I was literally having a panic attack. I was, like, crying and crying and crying, just because I was getting really nervous with the whole album rollout,” Cardi explained. “People were coming at me very hard; you know, sometimes, people love you, people hate you. And people was just saying very mean things about me [sic]. I was like, ‘See, this is why I don’t put music out.’ This is my art and something I put a lot of time to, and it’s just, like sometimes, when people just rip it apart, it just hurts you and it crushes you. And he was just like, ‘Girl, you better get it together.’”

Hollywood Life has the details on Stefon’s family and his relationship with Cardi B here.

Who Is Stefon Diggs?

Stefon is an accomplished NFL wide receiver who plays for the New England Patriots. He was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, and he previously played college football for the Maryland Terrapins.

Coming from a football family, Stefon’s brother Trevon plays for the Dallas Cowboys, and his other brother Darez was on the University of Alabama Birmingham’s Blazers team.

How Many Kids Does Stefon Diggs Have?

Stefon has one child, a daughter named Nova. She was born on October 14, 2016. For Cardi’s part, she shares three kids, Kulture, Wave and Blossom, with ex-husband Offset.

When Is Cardi B & Stefon Diggs’ Baby Due?

Cardi’s future baby is due before her tour kicks off in February 2026. She did not specify the exact due date.

Are Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Have a Son or a Daughter?

Cardi has not revealed the sex of her and Stefon’s future baby yet.

How Long Have Cardi B & Stefon Diggs Been Dating?

Cardi and Stefon have been together since 2024. It’s unclear how they met, but the couple have been going strong since they first sparked dating rumors later that year.

During her September 2025 CBS Mornings interview with Gayle, the “WAP” rapper couldn’t help but gush about her boyfriend. She pointed out they’re on the same page when it comes to their careers.

“Me and my man, we’re very supportive of each other. We’re, like, in the same space in our careers,” Cardi elaborated. “I feel like we’re really great and one of the best at what we do. And me and him think the same way. ‘Yeah, you’re one of the greatest, but what’s next. What are we doing again? We have to do it again, all the time.’ We’re never, like, comfortable. We just have to keep going it, and that’s just what we are.”

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed on December 4, 2024, outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The 50-year-old executive had been on his way to his company’s investor conference when the shooting occurred. He was later pronounced dead at Mount Sinai West Hospital, leaving behind his wife and their children.

Who Is Brian Thompson’s Wife?

Brian was married to his wife, Paulette Thompson. She spoke with NBC News shortly after her husband was shot and revealed that Brian had received “some threats” before he was murdered.

“There had been some threats. Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage?” Paulette said in a phone call with the outlet. “I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him. … I can’t really give a thoughtful response right now. I just found this out and I’m trying to console my children.”

Paulette works as a physical therapist with Park Nicollet Health Services. She earned a Masters of Physical Therapy degree after attending the University of Iowa, which is where Brian went to college.

According to Daily Mail, her work bio reads, “I love spending time with my two boys and taking them to all of their activities. I also love boating, spending time with family and friends, playing piano, biking, and traveling. I am dedicated and passionate when it comes to well-being and want to make a difference in other people’s lives. I love helping people recover from their injuries and giving them a sense of empowerment over their health so they can live their lives to the fullest getting them back to their baseline or in some cases, surpassing their baseline.”

Does Brian Thompson Have Children?

Brian and Paulette share two children together.

What Happened to Brian Thompson?

On December 4, 2024, Brian was fatally shot outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan as he arrived for UnitedHealthcare’s annual investor conference. Authorities alleged that the gunman matched the description of Luigi Mangione, who was later arrested in Pennsylvania and charged in connection with the killing. Police have described the attack as a targeted shooting, and both state and federal cases against Mangione remain ongoing.

Charlie Sheen is best known as a successful actor, but he’s also, more importantly, a doting father of five. The busy dad has welcomed three daughters and two sons over the course of one relationship and two marriages, and has often gushed over them during public appearances and in media interviews. “I love all my children unconditionally. We’re having a ball,” he once told Us Weekly when discussing his relationship with them and praising one of his daughters’ accomplishments.

Find out more about Charlie’s children and their backgrounds below.

Cassandra

Cassandra Jade Estevez is Charlie’s oldest child. She was born to him and his high school sweetheart Paula Profit in 1984 when he was just 19. Unlike some of Charlie’s other children, Cassandra has chosen to stay out of the spotlight, but she reportedly once pursued acting. She is also known to have reportedly maintained a close relationship with her grandfather, Martin Sheen, and her uncle Emilio Estevez and seems to be on good terms with her dad.

She reportedly married and welcomed a daughter named Luna in 2013. Luna is Charlie’s first grandchild.

Sami

Sami Sheen is Charlie’s second child and first with his ex-wife Denise Richards, whom he was married to from 2002 until 2006. She was born in 2004 and has appeared on television and on casual and professional outings with her parents. She was featured on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when her mom was one of the main cast members in 2009 and 2010. After Charlie and Denise’s split, she eventually went from living with her mom to living with her dad, and once called the experience “lovely.”

“Sami is a teenager, who didn’t like her mother’s rules,” a source exclusively told Hollywood Life about the move in 2021. “Like any mother and household, there are rules in Denise’s. She and Charlie have rules and styles of parenting and [they] didn’t see eye to eye. Sami decided she liked Charlie’s rules better and wanted to go and live with her father. Denise is incredibly saddened by all of this, but knows she is doing her best as a mother.”

In 2022, it was reported that Sami went back to living with Denise, and she made headlines when she revealed she made an OnlyFans account, which is a subscription service fans can pay for to see exclusive content, which could include racy photos, from a user. Charlie expressed his disapproval about the decision, in a statement to Us Weekly. “She is 18 years old now and living with her mother. This did not occur under my roof,” he said. “I do not condone this but since I’m unable to prevent it, I urged her to keep it classy, creative and not sacrifice her integrity.”

Meanwhile, Denise’s rep told Hollywood Life, “Sami is 18, and this decision wasn’t based on whose house she lives in. All I can do as a parent is guide her and trust her judgment, but she makes her own choices.”

Lola

Lola Sheen is Charlie’s third child and second with Denise. She was born in 2005, when Denise and Charlie started having marital issues and the former even got a restraining order on the latter. The couple got divorced just a year after Lola was born and the teen has split spending time with both her mom and dad ever since. “Lola splits time between both Charlie and Denise’s homes,” an insider exclusively told us, “but Denise has been the primary caretaker for the girls for years. She’s an incredible mother who loves her kids and would do anything in the world for them.”

Lola got her driver’s license in 2022 and sometimes appears in her parents’ Instagram posts along with her other siblings. In 2017, Charlie shared an adorable pic of him and her sitting in a car and smiling. “good thing we’re‬ ‪not in the U.K., ‪or my adorable‬ and ebullient 11 year old daughter,‬ Lola,‬ ‪wound be driving!‬ ‪ ❤️©❤️‬ ‪ #ProudPapa,” he wrote in the caption. 

Max & Bob

Twins Max Sheen and Bob Sheen are Charlie’s youngest children and only sons. They were born in 2009 to the former Two and a Half Men star and his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, whom he was married to from 2008 until 2011. Sadly, the boys’ custody arrangements have changed a fair amount over the past few years after Charlie had legal troubles and Brooke reportedly struggled with drug addiction. At one point, Denise was even given custody of Max and Bob. Brooke reportedly checked into a rehab facility in Aug. 2019 while the boys were in the care of her parents.

After going through a custody battle for the twins, it seems things eventually got better between Charlie and Brooke when it was reported they came to an undisclosed financial agreement in regard to child support. Max and Bob are sometimes seen spending time with their dad. One of the most recent outings happened when Charlie and one of the boys went shopping in Malibu, CA on June 14, 2022. They appeared relaxed as they walked beside each other and showed off their similar features.

Eye surgeon says ‘signs of poor eyesight in children are often overlooked’; shares tips for early detection and care | Health

Children often can’t voice when their vision isn’t right, making it tricky for parents to spot early eye problems. Dr. Jay Goyal, Eye Surgeon, LASIK specialist, retina specialist and Director at Surya Eye Hospital, Mumbai, shares with HT Lifestyle the warning signs to watch for and simple steps parents can take to protect their child’s eyesight. (Also read: Eye surgeon warns ‘kids under 5 are spending twice the recommended screen time’; shares tips to protect their vision )

Dr. Jay Goyal highlights warning signs of vision problems in children for parents and teachers. (Freepik)

“Every day, nearly 34 lakh children in India go to school with uncorrected vision. Many of them have refractive problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, which makes it hard for them to see clearly in class. As a result, they often end up learning less than their peers,” says Dr. Jay.

He adds, “The real challenge, however, is that signs of poor eyesight in children are often overlooked. When vision problems go undetected, they can affect not just academic performance but also daily activities. This is why parents and teachers need to be aware of children’s eye health and watch for signs that a child may need glasses.”

Signs your child is struggling with vision problems

Dr. Jay further lists a few signs that indicate your child may be experiencing vision problems and needs glasses:

1. Lack of concentration

Children with visual impairments soon become disinterested in long-term activities such as games or projects. They find these tasks difficult since they are unable to perceive things clearly. Moreover, kids with visual impairments refrain from reading, painting, playing games, or working on tasks requiring close attention. Your child can find it hard to see where they are on the page while they read, whether they are reading aloud or quietly. Kids may be discreet about their problems and choose not to tell you about them.

2. Holding handheld electronics too close to the eyes

Poor vision may be indicated by sitting too near the television or holding handheld electronics too close to the eyes. Myopia, often known as nearsightedness, causes people to see well up close but poorly at a distance. An image becomes larger and more lucid when an object is brought near.

3. Excessive eyerubbing

Your child may be experiencing eye strain or fatigue if they rub their eyes excessively. This could be an indication of various eye disorders, such as allergic conjunctivitis.

4. Eye pain or headaches

Your child may be overexerting their eyes to improve their blurred vision if they complain of headaches or eye pain at the end of the day.

5. Squinting

Squinting could indicate that your child has refractive error, a condition that impairs eye focus. Your toddler might be able to momentarily increase an object’s focus and clarity by squinting.

6. Covering one eye or cocking the head

For better clarity, the child may tilt their head or cover one eye to change the angle of vision. This could mean that your child has amblyopia, commonly referred to as lazy eye, one of the most prevalent eye conditions in kids, or that their eyes are misaligned.

What to do if your child has vision problems

Dr Jay explains, “Routine eye exams must be performed in schools to identify visual issues in youngsters. The parents must also take their children for regular eye exams. Seeing an eye care professional for a thorough eye exam is crucial if your child fails a vision screening. A comprehensive eye examination will also check the clarity and sharpness of vision.”

“It may also look for myopia, signs of more serious eye problems like depth perception, strabismus (crossed eyes), and eye alignment. Treatment by an ophthalmologist must begin as soon as possible if any of these issues are discovered,” he says.

“Optimal vision plays a vital role in a child’s learning and overall development. Poor eyesight can silently limit a child’s ability to perform well in school, participate in activities, and build confidence. It is therefore important that parents and teachers pay attention to early signs and ensure timely eye check-ups to help children reach their full potential. Protecting a child’s eye health today is an investment in their brighter, more successful tomorrow,” Dr Jay concludes.

Cardi B is one of the biggest rappers in the world, but for her, being a mom is the most important. The “I Like It” hitmaker adores her three children — Kulture, Wave and Blossom — and has continued to balance motherhood with a thriving career in music and entertainment. Since welcoming her first child in 2018, Cardi, whose full name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has been open about the challenges of juggling fame and family life. In a January 2022 Vogue cover story, she admitted that it can be “hard to balance” but added, “If I’m playing with my daughter, I forget about the issues.”

Now officially dating NFL star Stefon Diggs and in the middle of a public split from husband Offset, Cardi is entering a new chapter—one that’s come with renewed attention on her personal life. Though she previously called off a 2020 divorce for the sake of her family, her latest filing signals a more permanent break. Still, she remains deeply committed to raising her kids and embracing her role as a mom.

To learn more about Cardi and her kids, keep reading!

Kulture Kiari Cephus

It was big news when Cardi announced she was pregnant with her first child back in 2018. She courted baby rumors for months before debuting her baby bump in a major way during her Apr. 7 performance on Saturday Night Live. While rapping to her track “Be Careful”, the camera panned out to show the beauty’s belly wrapped in a tight, white Christian Siriano gown.

The fashionista didn’t stop with the fabulous maternity looks. During the next month’s 2018 Met Gala in May, she rocked a glorious Moschino gown inspired by the evening’s theme “The Catholic Imagination.” Cardi also let slip she was having a girl during the soiree.

Beautiful little Kulture was born on July 10, 2018. Cardi announced the news with a stunning shot of her nude and pregnant. Keeping the message simple, she shared, “Kulture Kiari Cephus 07/10/18” and tagged Offset.

Kulture’s birth wasn’t a cakewalk for Cardi. Talking about her post-partum healing process during a stop by Jimmy Kimmel Live! in Oct. 2021, she was blunt. “It was totally harder [than I expect],” Cardi said. “She broke my vagina.” The hilarious star asked the audience, “Why nobody tells you about those things? Nobody told me they were gonna stitch my vagina!”

Now that Kulture’s a bit bigger, she’s totally taken after her parents’ stylish ways. The toddler, who has over 2.2million Instagram followers, regularly shows off matching looks with mom and dad on social media. So cute!

Wave Set Cephus

Cardi waited three years to give Kulture a little brother. The star announced her 2nd child’s birth on Sep. 4, 2021 via Instagram, sharing a sweet photo of herself wrapped in a Louis Vuitton blanket while cradling her little one from her hospital bed.

“We are so overjoyed to finally meet our son. He is already loved so much by family and friends and we can’t wait to introduce him to his other siblings,” Cardi and Offset said in a statement via email to Hollywood Life. Offset also posted a sweet candid photo cuddling the baby boy. “Chapter 5,” he wrote in his caption.

The star’s 2nd pregnancy reveal was even wilder than the first. She debuted her belly during the Jun. 27, 2021 BET Awards, singing her hip “Type S***” in a sheer, mesh catsuit covered in crystals everywhere except a cut-out on her tummy.

The Invasion of Privacy artist was more private about Wave’s welcoming than her first baby. She strategically avoided sharing his face and his name until over 7 months after his birth, waiting for Apr. 2022 for the big reveal.

Cardi was so excited to give Kulture a little sibling. In a June 2021 maternity shoot with her daughter, the Grammy-winner hoped the kids’ future relationship would mirror her connection to sister Hennessy Carolina. “I just know these two will love each other so much and argue so much since they’re three years apart, just like me and [my sister]. But one thing for sure is they’ll have each other’s back like no one else ever will.”

Still, the star took her time before thinking about her 2nd kid. Back in 2019, a source close to the rap queen revealed EXCLUSIVE details to Hollywood Life. They told the site, that while Cardi “definitely wants to grow her family at some point,” she wanted to take her time. “[She] really wants to make sure the time is right before making a big leap like that,” the insider explained.

Blossom

Cardi revealed she had welcomed a baby girl by sharing the first adorable photos of her newborn with her older children. The star was reunited with Offset in the delivery room and posted more images of the family doting on the new baby—whose name has yet to be announced.

“The prettiest lil thing 🌸🌸 9/7/24 💖💖💖,” Cardi wrote via Instagram on Thursday, September 12, alongside a slideshow of photos and videos from her hospital room.

The rapper announced her pregnancy on Instagram in August 2024, sharing her excitement and gratitude: “With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you; you have brought me more love, more life, and most of all, renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all!” she wrote, addressing her third child. “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”

She continued: “I love you so much and cannot wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns, and tests lying down, but you, your brother, and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Cardi B’s Stepkids

Not only is Cardi a great mom to her own kids, but she was also a stepmother to Offset’s three other children. The “Motorsport” rapper shares son Jordan with Justine Watson, son Kody with Oriel Jamie, and daughter Kalea with Shya L’Amour.

The rapper loves her stepkids and told Vogue, Offset’s other children were anything but a dealbreaker. “When I was pregnant with Kulture, a lot of people [were] like, ‘Oh, he has three kids already; why would you have a kid with somebody that has three kids?’” she wondered back in Dec. 2019. “It’s like, how is that such a bad thing?

“My dad has eight kids, and we all get along, and it feels better, fuller. And with Offset, I feel like his kids just bring a pop of fun to life when they’re in his house. I actually love it. It brings out a different side of him that I like to see, and I love to see my baby interacting with her siblings. The more the merrier.”

Offset gushed about Cardi’s parenting skills in 2021 during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “My other kids who ain’t hers… [she] gives them love the same way,” he said. “It’s a beautiful thing.”

Offset and Cardi, however, split in 2024.
