NATIONWIDE - FEBRUARY 2026 - (USAnews.com) Gut Check With Morgan is a pediatric GI–grounded platform that cuts through gut-health noise with clear, evidence-based education, real-life perspective, and zero shame. It’s where overwhelmed families (and anyone living with GI symptoms) come for clarity, not fear-mongering, delivered with warmth, humor, and straight talk.
Meet Morgan Check, NP
I’m Morgan Check, a Pediatric Gastroenterology Nurse Practitioner, and I’m also an IBD patient and a mom. That combo matters.
Because I don’t just treat gut issues. I’ve lived with them. I know what it feels like to be dismissed, overwhelmed, and stuck googling symptoms at 2 a.m. I also know what it looks like when a clinician becomes a steady voice in the chaos.
That’s the heart of Gut Check:
I help families understand what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do next, without panic, blame, or internet drama.
The Gut Check Philosophy
Most health content online swings between two extremes:
“This is nothing, you’re overreacting.”
“This is an emergency, buy my protocol.”
I refuse both.
My philosophy is simple: listen first, explain clearly, and treat the person in front of me, not a trend, not an algorithm, not a one-size-fits-all plan. If something is concerning, I’ll say that. If it’s common and manageable, I’ll say that too.
And I will always be the soothing voice of reason I wish more people had when I was the patient.
What I Talk About (My Pillars)
Pediatric GI Clarity (Without the Scare Tactics)
Constipation, reflux, abdominal pain, blood in stool, picky eating, stooling patterns, what matters, what doesn’t, and when to escalate.IBD: Real-Life + Real Medicine
Because I live it and practice in GI: practical education, advocacy tips, and the stuff that gets left out of clinic summaries.Food, Microbiome, and “Real Life” Nutrition
Not perfection. Not diet culture. Just doable, evidence-based strategies for building gut-friendly habits in actual families.Advocacy + Nervous-System Calm for Caregivers
How to talk to your child’s care team, what questions to ask, how to document symptoms, and how to stop spiraling every time something weird happens.Presentation of Applicable Evidence, Articles, and Health News
Why “Gut Check” Works
Gut symptoms can be scary, especially when it’s your kid. And people don’t need more noise. They need a guide.
The “gut check” is my way of teaching a skill:
pause → get grounded → sort signal from noise → take the next right step.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being informed, supported, and empowered.
The Brand Difference: Authority and Humanity
I’m credentialed, clinical, and evidence-based, but I’m also deeply human about this work. I talk like the families I serve. I name what’s hard. I normalize what’s common. I don’t sensationalize.
Because trust is built when people feel:
Seen (not judged)
Informed (not overwhelmed)
Calmer (not activated)
