Nutrition and Weight Issues

Proper nutrition is crucial for a child's growth, development, and overall health. Issues like poor weight gain, malnutrition, or obesity can arise due to dietary deficiencies, metabolic disorders, or underlying gastrointestinal conditions. Early intervention is essential to prevent long-term health problems. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we provide expert nutritional assessments and personalized diet plans to address weight concerns and promote healthy growth in children.

Metabolic and Genetic Liver Disorders

Metabolic and genetic liver disorders, such as Wilson’s disease and glycogen storage disorders, result from inherited enzyme deficiencies affecting liver function. These conditions can lead to liver damage, jaundice, and growth issues. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment are crucial to managing these disorders effectively. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we offer advanced diagnostic tests and personalized treatment plans to ensure better liver health and overall well-being for children.

Pediatric Feeding Disorders

Feeding disorders in children can result in inadequate nutrition, poor weight gain, and developmental delays. These may be caused by sensory sensitivities, medical conditions, or behavioral challenges. If left untreated, feeding difficulties can impact a child’s growth and health. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we provide expert evaluation, dietary counseling, and therapy to help children develop healthy eating habits and achieve proper nutrition.

Motility Issues of the GI Tract

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders affect how food moves through the digestive system, leading to problems such as chronic constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and abdominal pain. Conditions like gastroparesis and intestinal dysmotility require specialized care. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic techniques and targeted treatments to improve GI motility and enhance digestive health.

Liver Transplantation

Liver transplantation is a life-saving procedure for children with end-stage liver disease, severe metabolic disorders, or acute liver failure. It involves replacing a damaged liver with a healthy donor liver. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we provide comprehensive pre-transplant evaluation, expert medical care, and post-transplant management to ensure the best possible outcomes for children undergoing liver transplantation.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. If left untreated, IBD can impact a child’s growth and quality of life. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we offer expert diagnosis, advanced treatment options, and long-term management strategies to help children effectively control their symptoms and maintain a healthy life.

Pancreatic Diseases

Pancreatic diseases in children, such as pancreatitis and pancreatic insufficiency, can affect digestion and nutrient absorption. These conditions may cause abdominal pain, malnutrition, and poor growth. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications. At Dr. Kumar's Pediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic disorders, providing expert care to support digestive health and overall well-being.
