Pediatric Gastroenterology

We are able to provide comprehensive online care for consultations, medical advice, discussing test results and writing e-prescriptions. For examinations, we are able to receive patients face-to-face.​

It is important to examine any abdominal symptoms, as they can indicate different kinds of diseases. Special expertise is crucial in the case of children, since they cannot really describe their symptoms. A pediatric gastroenterologist can decide whether it’s a lesion of an organ or the symptoms appear as the effect of stress or diet. We examine children as early as infant age.

When should you turn to a pediatric gastroenterologist? 

• Infant who falls frequently
• Stomach ache, flatulence
• Abnormal weight gain or loss
• Eating disorders, lack of appetite
• Difficulty passing stools, constipation, bloody stool etc.
• Phenylketonuria, metabolic diseases
• Jaundice, liver disease

Examinations available in our office:

• Breath test to detect lactose, fructose intolerance
• Helicobacter infection screening from stool (equivalent to H2 breath test)
• Celiac test (Biocard rapid test)
• Laboratories
• Abdominal ultrasound
• Calprotectin test: We determine from blood sample if gastroscopy is indeed necessary. This way we can avoid unnecessary endoscopic examination involving discomfort.
• Endoscopy and colonoscopy in anesthesia (made by Dr Zsuzsanna Vojnisek)
