| Title: | Update in adolescent gastroenterology. |
| Abstract: | Pediatric gastroenterology, just as all fields within pediatrics, focuses on the unique needs of children ranging from infancy to adolescence. Although there is some overlap between adult gastroenterology and pediatric gastroenterology, these are 2 distinct fields of medicine that address the specific health care needs of the demographics they serve. The purpose of this article is to address several medical issues that have a particular importance to the pediatric population. The 5 main topics of discussion are magnet ingestion, cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, obesity and how it pertains to fatty liver disease, hepatitis B immunization status in the inflammatory bowel disease population, and irritable bowel syndrome. There is also a brief discussion regarding the transitioning process of our patients to adult medicine. |
