Pediatric gastroenterology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal disorders in children, from infancy to adolescence. These disorders may include conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and other digestive organs. Pediatric gastroenterologists are trained to evaluate and manage a wide range of gastrointestinal issues in children, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, liver disease, and nutritional disorders. They utilize a combination of clinical evaluation, diagnostic tests such as endoscopy and imaging studies, and laboratory tests to accurately diagnose gastrointestinal conditions in children. Treatment options may include medication management, dietary modifications, nutritional supplementation, and in some cases, surgical interventions. Pediatric gastroenterologists work closely with other specialists, including pediatric surgeons, dietitians, and psychologists, to provide comprehensive care and support for children with gastrointestinal issues and their families.
