Track: Pediatric Gastroenterology

Pediatric gastroenterology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of digestive system disorders in children. This includes conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and related organs. Pediatric gastroenterologists deal with issues ranging from common gastrointestinal (GI) problems like reflux and constipation to complex diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and liver disorders.

Key Areas of Pediatric Gastroenterology:

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and possible complications
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, where the intestines become inflamed, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and growth issues.
Celiac Disease: A disorder where the immune system reacts to gluten, damaging the small intestine's lining and impairing nutrient absorption.
Chronic Diarrhea & Constipation: Common issues in children, which can be caused by various factors including diet, infections, and underlying medical conditions.
Functional GI Disorders: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or functional dyspepsia that impact the normal function of the GI tract without visible damage.
Liver Diseases: Pediatric gastroenterologists treat liver-related disorders, including hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and biliary atresia, which may require transplant evaluations.
Pancreatic Disorders: Conditions such as pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis, which affect the pancreas’ ability to produce enzymes and hormones.
Nutritional Disorders : Gastroenterologists manage children with malnutrition, failure to thrive, and feeding difficulties, ensuring proper growth and development.
Food Allergies and Intolerances : The diagnosis and management of food-related conditions, such as lactose intolerance, milk protein allergy, and eosinophilic esophagitis.
Short Bowel Syndrome : A condition that occurs after surgery to remove part of the intestines, leading to difficulties in nutrient absorption

Pediatric gastroenterology is a rapidly advancing field with continued innovations in diagnostic techniques, treatments, and nutritional management aimed at improving the quality of life for children with digestive disorders.
