Understanding Gastrointestinal Disorders in Children

The gastrointestinal (GI) system plays an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall growth. Children are more prone to digestive disorders because of their developing immune systems, dietary habits, and exposure to infections.

Timely medical evaluation helps identify the underlying cause and ensures effective treatment before complications arise.
