Pediatric Gastroenterology
At Nalam Medical Centre & Hospital, we specialize in Pediatric Gastroenterology, providing expert care for children with digestive, liver, and nutritional disorders. From common issues like tummy aches to more complex gastrointestinal conditions, our team is equipped to handle it all with care and compassion.
What is Pediatric Gastroenterology?
Pediatric Gastroenterology focuses on diagnosing and treating digestive system disorders in children, from infancy through adolescence. These can include issues related to the stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Digestive problems can affect your child’s growth, nutrition, and overall well-being, making early diagnosis and treatment essential.
Conditions We Treat:
Abdominal Pain and Digestive Issues: Persistent stomach aches, constipation, diarrhea, or gas can indicate underlying digestive disorders.
Acid Reflux (GERD): Gastroesophageal reflux disease can cause heartburn, vomiting, and feeding issues in young children.
Food Allergies and Intolerances: We help identify and manage food allergies like lactose intolerance, gluten sensitivity (celiac disease), and more.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis cause chronic inflammation in the digestive tract, leading to pain, fatigue, and weight loss.
Liver Diseases: Pediatric liver conditions like hepatitis, jaundice, and liver failure require specialized care and ongoing monitoring.
Malnutrition and Nutritional Deficiencies: Poor nutrition can lead to growth delays and developmental issues. We provide tailored plans to address nutritional needs.
Constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Chronic constipation or IBS can interfere with daily life. We offer effective treatments to manage these conditions.
