Gastroenterology / Hepatology / Nutrition

The Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Section offers diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal, liver, and nutritional disorders for infants, children, and adolescents. Among the common disorders we treats are chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting, or gastroesophageal reflux disease.

We also have broad experience with less common disorders including:

Gastrointestinal bleeding
Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis)
Celiac disease and other forms of chronic diarrhea and malabsorption
Eosinophil-related gastrointestinal disorders, such as, allergic bowel disease, parasitic infection, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, and eosinophilic esophagitis
Acute and chronic liver disease, including viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, drug-induced hepatitis
Biliary tract diseases
Short-bowel syndrome due to necrotizing enterocolitis or congenital malformations
Complex nutritional problems requiring total parenteral nutrition and specialized tube feedings
Inborn errors of metabolism that affect the liver and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract
