Paediatric Gastroenterology is the medical specialty dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders affecting the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, and pancreas in babies, children, and adolescents.
This specialised care is essential because digestive disorders during childhood can have a significant impact on growth, development, and emotional well-being. Poor nutrient absorption may impair normal growth, while conditions such as chronic abdominal pain or gastro-oesophageal reflux can lead to discomfort, school absenteeism, and anxiety.
As children’s bodies are still developing, they require age-appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Early assessment and intervention are crucial to minimise long-term complications.
A paediatric gastroenterologist also integrates expertise in hepatology and clinical nutrition, providing comprehensive management of digestive, liver, and nutritional health to help every child achieve their full growth and developmental potential.
Reflux and Vomiting Disorders
Assessment of persistent symptoms, irritability, frequent vomiting, and poor weight gain, including the evaluation and management of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).
Abdominal Pain
A comprehensive clinical assessment to distinguish functional abdominal pain from underlying organic gastrointestinal conditions, including the evaluation of recurrent abdominal pain.
Bowel Disorders
Comprehensive assessment of bowel habits, food intolerances, the gut microbiome, and dietary factors, with tailored nutritional guidance for the diagnosis and management of chronic diarrhoea and constipation.
Coeliac Disease
From diagnosis and ongoing follow-up to individualised nutritional education and support for the child and their family.
Paediatric Hepatology
Assessment of abnormal liver enzyme levels, diagnosis and follow-up of paediatric fatty liver disease (MASLD), and the management of other liver conditions affecting children and adolescents.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Clinical monitoring and ongoing management of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, in coordination with specialist hospital teams when required.
Feeding Difficulties
Assessment and management of selective eating, food texture aversion, and difficulties during the introduction of solid foods, with personalised guidance for families to support healthy eating habits and nutritional development.
Growth Delay
Comprehensive gastrointestinal and nutritional assessment for children with poor weight gain, faltering growth, or short stature, to identify potential digestive or nutritional causes and guide appropriate management.
Childhood Obesity
A comprehensive assessment and management plan based on a metabolic and nutritional approach, including personalised dietary advice, lifestyle recommendations, and long-term follow-up to support healthy growth and weight management.
At Equipo Médico Ordovás, we believe that digestive, liver, and nutritional health are closely interconnected. Many conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract can have a direct impact on growth, development, nutritional status, and overall well-being, making a comprehensive approach essential.
Our multidisciplinary model allows us to assess not only the digestive symptoms, but also their potential effects on the child’s growth, liver function, and nutritional health. This enables us to:
Our goal is to deliver specialist, family-centred care that supports every child’s digestive health, nutrition, and healthy development, all from the comfort of their own home.

Less stress for your child
Having the assessment and follow-up carried out in the comfort of the family home helps children feel safer, more relaxed, and at ease. It reduces the anxiety and fear often associated with hospitals or clinics, allowing for a more natural interaction and a more accurate clinical assessment.
Assessment in the child’s everyday environment
A home consultation allows the paediatric dietitian and gastroenterologist to assess the child within their normal daily routine. This provides valuable insight into the environmental, social, and family factors that influence eating habits and lifestyle, offering a more complete and realistic picture than is often possible during a clinic visit.
Observación directa de hábitos alimentarios reales.
La visita a domicilio da la oportunidad de presenciar situaciones de alimentación reales (comidas, snacks, preparación de alimentos), lo que permite detectar patrones de conducta, dinámicas familiares en torno a la comida y posibles barreras o facilitadores que son invisibles en una entrevista clínica. Esta observación en vivo es crucial para diseñar estrategias verdaderamente efectivas y personalizadas.
More personalised nutritional follow-up
By combining comprehensive background information with direct observation in the home, the assessment, treatment plan, and follow-up can be tailored to the child’s individual needs, daily routines, and family preferences. This personalised approach promotes better adherence to dietary recommendations and supports improved long-term outcomes. In addition, the flexibility of home visits makes it easier to schedule appointments around the family’s routine.
Avoids unnecessary travel to hospital or clinic
Home consultations reduce the logistical burden and time commitment for families by eliminating the need to travel, find parking, and wait for appointments. This is particularly beneficial for families with multiple children, children with reduced mobility, or those living far from specialist centres. It also reduces exposure to infections commonly encountered in hospital or clinical settings.
