Welcome to Dr. Dhanesh Agrahari Pediatric Gastrointestinal Treatment! Our aims to provide valuable information about pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, the specialized care we offer, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for children's digestive health. Our team of skilled pediatric gastroenterologists is dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents with GI conditions.
What is Pediatric Gastroenterology?
Pediatric Gastroenterology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of gastrointestinal disorders in children. These disorders affect the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas. Pediatric gastroenterologists are specialized physicians who understand the unique aspects of digestive health in children and provide tailored care for young patients.
Common Pediatric Gastrointestinal Conditions
Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GER and GERD occur when stomach contents flow backward into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and feeding difficulties. Pediatric gastroenterologists diagnose and manage these conditions to reduce discomfort and improve feeding.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): IBD includes conditions such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. Pediatric gastroenterologists work closely with children and their families to provide comprehensive treatment plans, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life.
Celiac Disease: Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten consumption. Pediatric gastroenterologists diagnose and manage celiac disease, helping children adhere to a gluten-free diet and preventing complications.
Chronic Abdominal Pain: Pediatric gastroenterologists evaluate and treat children with recurrent or persistent abdominal pain, identifying underlying causes such as functional gastrointestinal disorders, lactose intolerance, or food allergies.
Liver and Pancreatic Disorders: Pediatric gastroenterologists diagnose and manage various liver and pancreatic conditions, including hepatitis, liver cysts, fatty liver disease, biliary atresia, and pancreatitis.
Food Allergies and Food Intolerances: Pediatric gastroenterologists assess and manage food allergies and intolerances, providing guidance on dietary modifications and strategies to avoid allergens.

Nutritional Support: Pediatric gastroenterologists work closely with dieticians to provide individualized nutritional guidance and support, especially for children with conditions such as celiac disease, food allergies, or malabsorption disorders.
Medication Management: When appropriate, pediatric gastroenterologists prescribe medications to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and promote healing in various gastrointestinal conditions.
Interventional Procedures: Our skilled pediatric gastroenterologists perform interventional procedures, such as endoscopic biopsies, dilation of strictures, and polyp removal, to address specific conditions or complications.
Multidisciplinary Care: We collaborate closely with other pediatric specialists, such as pediatric surgeons, hepatologists, and nutritionists, to provide comprehensive care for complex gastrointestinal disorders.
