Overview

Pediatric gastroenterology and hepatology covers the digestive system and liver in children - from infant feeding problems to chronic stomach and liver conditions. At VRA Health you can consult these specialists online with your child's reports and growth records.

Recurrent abdominal pain and bloating
Chronic constipation and soiling
Diarrhoea, food intolerances and coeliac disease
Poor feeding, reflux and slow weight gain

When should you consult?

Consult this specialist when digestive complaints persist beyond a few weeks or keep recurring, when growth is faltering, or when liver reports are abnormal. Blood in stool or vomit, severe dehydration, or a distended painful abdomen need emergency in-person care - call 108 or 102.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a pediatric gastroenterologist treat?

They treat digestive and liver problems in children - recurrent stomach pain, chronic constipation, diarrhoea, poor feeding and weight gain, reflux in infants, food intolerances and childhood liver disease including jaundice.

When should my child see this specialist?

Consult one for stomach pain that keeps returning, constipation lasting beyond a few weeks, blood in stool, poor weight gain despite adequate feeding, or jaundice and abnormal liver reports.

Is recurrent stomach pain in children serious?

Often it is functional and settles with diet and routine changes, but pain that wakes a child at night, is accompanied by weight loss, vomiting or blood in stool needs proper evaluation - the consultation sorts one from the other.

How is childhood constipation treated?

With a structured plan: clearing the backlog, keeping stools soft with safe laxatives for a sustained period, toilet routine training and diet changes. Stopping treatment too early is the commonest reason it comes back, so follow-up matters.
