Although feeding difficulties are a common phenomenon in children with gastrointestinal disorders, symptoms are often not recognised early enough, preventing early management and the escalation of symptoms.
It is important that healthcare professionals familiarise themselves with this topic, as difficulties may impact on both the child's growth and development as well as the wider psychological well-being of the child and family.
Target audience
All gastroenterologist dealing with a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, dietitians, nutritionists, psychologist, speech pathologist and any other healthcare professionals involved in a feeding team.
