Pediatric Gastroenterology

Paediatric gastroenterology treats digestive and liver problems in children. Common reasons to see a specialist are long-lasting diarrhoea, constipation, poor weight gain, repeated vomiting or abdominal pain.

Prolonged jaundice in a newborn needs prompt evaluation for liver disease. Coeliac disease and food intolerance are diagnosed with blood tests and, if needed, endoscopy, and treated mainly through diet.
