Digestive health is essential to a child’s growth and development. Children can face a wide range of problems with digestive organs, such as the stomach, liver and intestines. Parents can be confused and troubled when a simple tummy ache seems to be a symptom of a larger problem.

A pediatric gastroenterology specialist attends to the specific needs of a child’s delicate digestive system and may also treat digestive disorders that result from other conditions, such as cystic fibrosis.
