Pediatric Gastroenterology
Pediatric Gastroenterology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating digestive system disorders in children. This includes issues related to the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Pediatric gastroenterologists work with young patients to address conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), celiac disease, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
These specialists use various tests and treatments to help children manage their symptoms and improve their overall health. They also provide guidance on nutrition and dietary needs, ensuring that children receive the right support for their growth and development while dealing with gastrointestinal issues.
