Paediatric gastro care
Dietary triggers contributing to GI symptoms.
Food allergies and intolerance is a condition we see regularly at the clinic. Dietary triggers contributing to GI symptoms.
This page gives a plain-language overview. The specific assessment and treatment depend on your individual history and findings, which we will discuss with you in detail at the consultation.
A focused history and examination, followed by a targeted set of tests. The goal is to confirm the diagnosis without over-investigating.
Typical workup may include blood tests, imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI as appropriate), and an endoscopic procedure when needed.
Treatment is tailored to the severity and the underlying cause. Many conditions respond very well to lifestyle adjustments and medication alone.
Procedures or surgery are considered only when they offer a clear advantage over conservative treatment.
Most patients return to their normal life with appropriate treatment and follow-up.
We will agree on a monitoring plan that is right for your situation. Please reach out at any time between visits if anything changes.
Common questions
Do I need an endoscopy?
Not always. We will recommend an endoscopy only when it adds information that changes the plan. We will explain the reasoning at the consultation.
Will I need lifelong medication?
It depends on the condition. Some are self-limiting. Others are well-controlled with a short course of treatment. A small group needs long-term therapy.
