Gastrointestinal comfort is essential for a child’s growth, appetite, and overall well-being. At Diagnostic Center “Heart,” we offer consultations with a pediatric gastroenterologist—a specialist who takes care of the digestive system in children and provides support for acute, chronic, and functional gastrointestinal complaints.

From frequent abdominal pain to serious digestive disorders—we are here to provide timely diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up tailored to the child’s age and condition.

What is pediatric gastroenterology?

Pediatric gastroenterology focuses on conditions affecting the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas in children. Through a specialized exam and targeted tests, the pediatric gastroenterologist helps identify the cause of recurring issues such as abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, or loss of appetite.

At Diagnostic Center “Heart,” we offer a personalized approach, fully adapted to each child’s age, dietary habits, and lifestyle.

When should you consult a pediatric gastroenterologist?

A consultation with a specialist is recommended in the following cases:

• Recurring abdominal pain
• Frequent vomiting, especially after meals
• Diarrhea that does not resolve
• Prolonged constipation or irregular bowel movements
• Loss of appetite or refusal to eat
• Unexplained weight loss or delayed growth
• Blood in the stool
• Abdominal bloating, gas, frequent colic
• Sensitivity to certain foods (e.g., gluten, lactose)
• Mood changes or fatigue related to digestive symptoms

What does the pediatric gastroenterologist treat and monitor?

At our center, the pediatric gastroenterologist performs diagnosis and treatment of:

• Acute and chronic gastritis
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Celiac disease (gluten intolerance)
• Lactose intolerance and other food allergies
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Chronic constipation or diarrhea
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
• Digestive and absorption disorders

What to expect during a pediatric gastroenterology consultation?

The consultation begins with a detailed discussion of symptoms, eating habits, bowel movement patterns, and family history. This is followed by a clinical examination that includes:

• Abdominal palpation and general condition assessment
• Measurement of height and weight
• Review of dietary patterns
• Ordering appropriate tests if necessary:
  • Blood and urine tests
  • Stool analysis
  • Abdominal ultrasound
