Our team of gastroenterologists and related staff offers
complete diagnostic testing, consultation, treatment and
follow-up for gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders
for newborns and children through 18 years of age. Physicians
who are board certified in pediatrics and pediatric gastroenterology
diagnose and treat disorders including inflammatory bowel
disease, chronic abdominal pain, feeding problems, acute
and chronic liver disease, chronic constipation, and diarrhea.
We are one the few facilities in New Jersey to provide pre-
and post-liver transplant care and are experts in the diagnosis
and treatment of common pediatric gastrointestinal disorders
such as: gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), colic, feeding difficulties,
peptic ulcer disease, constipation, chronic abdominal pain,
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food allergies, celiac disease,
chronic diarrhea, blood in the stool, inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD), Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and intestinal polyps.
We
diagnose and treat pediatric liver disorders such as: jaundice,
infectious hepatitis (hepatitis A, B, and C), fatty liver,
metabolic liver disease (such as Wilson's, alpha 1 antitrypsin
deficiency), portal hypertension, and autoimmune hepatitis.
The
Nutritional disorders we diagnose and treat include failure
to thrive (poor weight gain), lactose intolerance, feeding
disabilities leading to the need for tube feedings, and pancreatic
insufficiency.
Our pediatric gastroenterologists also provide
a variety of testing and diagnostic procedures to patients
with gastrointestinal disorders, including: upper GI endoscopy,
colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy (pillcam®), breath testing
for sugar intolerance (lactose, fructose, sucrose), removal
of polyps (polypectomy), opening of intestinal narrowings
(stricture dilation), gastric tube placement (PEG), control
of intestinal bleeding (cauterizing, variceal banding), pH
probe monitoring (traditional and wireless), fecal disimpaction,
infliximab (Remicade®)
infusion, and liver biopsy.
