Paediatric gastroenterology is a medical speciality focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing digestive, liver, and nutritional problems in infants, children, and adolescents. Conditions treated include issues related to the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and oesophagus.
They treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic constipation, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, food allergies, liver disorders, and gastrointestinal infections, among others.
You should consider seeing a paediatric gastroenterologist if your child has persistent digestive symptoms like abdominal pain, chronic diarrhoea or constipation, unexplained weight loss, blood in the stool, persistent vomiting, or signs of food intolerance.
Paediatric gastroenterologists specialise in treating children from infancy through adolescence, focusing on the unique needs of growing bodies and digestive systems. They have additional training in the developmental and physiological differences between children and adults.
Common procedures include endoscopy (upper endoscopy and colonoscopy), liver biopsy, pH monitoring for acid reflux, hydrogen breath tests, and various imaging studies (ultrasounds, CT scans) to diagnose conditions.
Yes, paediatric gastroenterologists are specially trained to perform these procedures safely in children. They work closely with paediatric anesthesiologists and use child-friendly approaches to minimize discomfort and anxiety.
Symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, chronic diarrhea, constipation, bloating, poor growth, excessive gas, and unexplained changes in appetite or weight.
Yes, food allergies or intolerances, such as lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivity (celiac disease), can cause a wide range of gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, or vomiting.
The doctor will typically take a detailed medical history of your child, perform a physical exam, and may recommend diagnostic tests based on the symptoms. The goal is to identify the underlying cause of the gastrointestinal issue and develop a tailored treatment plan.
Treatment options may include dietary changes, medications (like acid reducers or anti-inflammatory drugs), probiotics, or more specialized therapies for chronic conditions. In some cases, surgery may be necessary, but it is usually considered as a last resort.
