Pediatric Gastroenterology: Common GI Disorders in Children

Pediatric gastroenterology focuses on diagnosing and managing gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in children, which can significantly impact their health and development. Common GI disorders include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, and functional abdominal pain. GERD in children often presents as frequent vomiting, heartburn, or feeding difficulties, requiring dietary modifications and, in some cases, medication. IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, involves chronic inflammation of the GI tract, necessitating long-term management with medications and sometimes surgery. Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, requires a strict gluten-free diet to prevent symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal pain, and growth delays. Functional abdominal pain, often related to stress or dietary factors, is managed through a combination of dietary changes, behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication. Pediatric gastroenterologists work closely with families to provide individualized care plans, ensuring optimal management of these conditions and improving the overall quality of life for affected children.
