Our neurogastroenterology team specializes in the complex interactions between the nervous system and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in children. When the communication between the brain and the gut is disrupted, it can lead to problems like stomach pain, constipation, nausea, or trouble with digestion—these are often called motility disorders.

We provide a comprehensive approach to managing these challenging conditions, which require both early recognition and long-term care, to help kids feel better and live healthier, more comfortable lives. Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists in gastroenterology, nutrition, behavioral therapy, pelvic floor physical therapy, pain management and colorectal health.
