Signs Your Child May Have Irritable Bowel Syndrome

If your child is often gassy or bloated and complains of stomach pain, there may be something more than run-of-the-mill tummy trouble at play. A visit to a pediatric gastroenterologist will help get to the root of your child’s digestive issues.

Treating Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a rare condition that requires evaluation by a gastroenterologist. Taking steps to avoid trigger foods enables children with EoE to live a normal, healthy life.

 

We are affiliated with multiple Chicagoland hospitals, including:

Advocate Children's Hospital-Oak Lawn, Advocate Christ Medical Center, Edward Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital, Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center, Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, AMITA Adventist Hinsdale Hospital.
