The Rutgers Health Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition practice fully evaluates and treats pediatric patients with intestinal, hepatobiliary, and nutrition-related disorders. Our pediatricians are sensitive to the needs of infants, children, and adolescents with gastroenterology (GI) disorders. 

The conditions we commonly treat include:

• Abdominal pain
• Celiac disease
• Chronic diarrhea including encopresis
• Constipation
• Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
• Eosinophilic disorders (overproduction of bodily toxins)
• Failure to thrive
• Feeding disorder
• Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
• Gastrointestinal bleeding
• Hepatitis
• Hyperlipidemia 
• Inflammatory bowel disease
• Portal hypertension
• Vomiting

Our practice performs many tests and procedures to address GI disorders, including:

• 24-hour esophageal pH/impedance testing
• Capsule endoscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Enteral tube feeding
• Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
• Parenteral nutrition (nutrition transferred by tube)
• Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement
• Rectal suction biopsy
• Removal of foreign body and polypectomy
• Sigmoidoscopy

Physicians who serve our practice are on the faculty of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, a part of Rutgers University, one of the top research institutions in America. Our doctors are involved in research and in teaching about all aspects of pediatric and adolescent medicine, as well as pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition. Each brings leading-edge knowledge from the classroom to the exam room.
