When should my child see a pediatric gastroenterologist?

Consider scheduling an evaluation if your child has persistent or recurring digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, acid reflux, feeding difficulties, changes in bowel habits, or poor growth. A pediatric gastroenterologist can assess the symptoms, identify possible causes, and recommend appropriate next steps based on your child’s needs.
