Gastroenterology & Nutrition

Paediatric gastroenterology has witnessed tremendous expansion in North America and Europe. It all began in the nineteenth century with paediatrics, which grew up alongside children's hospitals. Around the same time, the concept of specialists specialising in specific organs began to take shape. The speciality was founded by Dr. Samuel Gee of London, who concentrated on severe clinical diseases in children such as celiac disease and cyclic vomiting syndrome.

Obesity and underweight are the most common dietary issues in children, and both are caused by an imbalance in the quantity of calories consumed vs calories burned. Both in children should be treated at the same time by a paediatric gastroenterologist and a paediatric nutritionist to help the child recover his or her normal weight without side effects (hypertension, gastritis, etc.). The nutritionist will be in charge of the child's eating habits, while the paediatric gastroenterologist will be in control of the digestive system.
