Pediatric Gastroenterology

Pediatric gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that deals with the ailments and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Sensitivities of gastrointestinal nutrition are not uncommon in new-born children. These conditions may persist at birth or on the surface at a later stage as the child develops. Common examples include food allergies, colitis, anorexia and bulimia, celiac disease, Cohn’s disease, diarrhoea, gluten sensitivity, chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, failure to thrive and other related digestive and elimination problems. The diseases concerned with pediatric gastroenterology are intense racing, gastritis, persistent arcades and problems with the improvement of the gastric tract.
