Children can have a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, and exams will require you to be able to differentiate between each one. In this episode, I’m providing a high level overview of common pediatric GI disorders:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease


• Hirschsprung disease


• Intussusception


• Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis


• Biliary atresia


• Meckel’s diverticulum


• Short bowel syndrome

Plus, there’s a PodQuiz at the end…so make sure you listen all the way through!
