They are the only pediatric gastroenterology practice on the Gulf Coast, covering the entire region from Mobile to New Orleans and north points, such as Hattiesburg.

The experienced team offers a common sense and real-world approach to every child’s treatment. Instead of focusing only on their symptoms and condition, they treat the whole child, recognizing the unique attention and specialized care that’s needed for growing and developing bodies.

The compassionate practitioners at Kids and Tummies have the expertise and skill to treat a wide range of symptoms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, from the esophagus to the colon, including nausea, abdominal pain, constipation. 

They treat a variety of GI conditions, such as celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and fatty liver disease, as well as lactose intolerance, swallowing problems, food sensitivities, and allergies. They also provide care for children with growth disorders, such as failure to thrive and overweight/obesity.

To help pinpoint the cause of certain gastrointestinal conditions, they use a variety of diagnostic testing tools, such as upper endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, and colonoscopy.

The team offers comprehensive evaluations and therapies, treating each young patient with personalized care. They include the entire family in the child’s treatment, making visits and treatments an all-inclusive experience. The personalized attention they give children to ensure their successful outcomes make them a standout practice.
