Pediatric Gastroenterology

Braine-l'Alleud Site

The pediatric gastroenterology department supports your child in the assessment and management of bowel movement disorders, abdominal pain, and other gastrointestinal complaints.

To reach a diagnosis, your child may be offered tests such as impedance monitoring, gastroscopy, endoscopy, a lactose breath test, or medical imaging examinations.

Examinations and Treatments Performed

This is a test that analyzes stomach acidity over 24 hours to determine whether your child has pathological gastroesophageal reflux (GERD).

A camera probe is inserted through the mouth to examine the upper digestive tract lining. The probe also has a small tool to take tissue samples for bacteriological and/or histopathological analysis. This examination is performed under anesthesia.

A camera probe is inserted through the anus to examine the lower digestive tract lining. The probe also allows for small tissue samples to be taken for bacteriological and/or histopathological analysis. This examination is performed under anesthesia.

After ingesting a specific amount of lactose, your child will be asked to blow into a machine or collection bag multiple times. The results are analyzed, and the pediatric gastroenterologist will advise if your child should stop consuming lactose.

The NUTRIKIDS team can also support your child in managing obesity. Assessments can be performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis.

A clinical dietitian, specialized in eating behavior disorders, is available for guidance and care.
