Dell Children's - Gastroenterology North

Stomach aches and digestive problems can keep your child from enjoying everyday activities and play. If your child has diarrhea, constipation, cramping, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain that won’t go away, talk with a pediatric gastroenterologist (GI doctor) at Dell Children's - Gastroenterology North. We deliver personalized care for conditions that affect the entire digestive tract from the throat to the colon and everything in between.

Diagnosing pediatric digestive health conditions

We understand that GI conditions can be uncomfortable — especially for children. That’s why we work to make your child feel at ease while diagnosing and treating their condition. Our care teams specialize in delivering diagnostic tests in a way that helps keep your child comfortable. We will explain the tests so you and your child can understand and know what to expect. We use diagnostic tests such as:

• Blood test
• Colonoscopy
• CT scan
• Endoscopy
• Lactose intolerance test
• Ultrasound

Personalized treatments for digestive conditions

We start by listening to you and your child to better understand their health. Then, we work with you to create a personalized care plan that's right for your child. Depending on the condition, your child’s care may include individualized nutrition plans, medication therapies, or minimally invasive surgery.
