Diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders typically involves a combination of:
- Medical History and Physical Examination: Initial evaluation by a pediatrician or pediatric gastroenterologist. - Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, stool tests, and other biochemical markers. - Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, X-rays, and MRI to visualize internal organs. - Endoscopy: A procedure that allows direct visualization of the gastrointestinal tract.
