Endoscopic procedures help find out why your child is having gastrointestinal problems. During the procedure the doctor looks directly into certain areas of the digestive tract. The doctor uses an endoscope. An endoscope is a narrow bendable tube with a built-in light and camera.
The doctor will talk with you after the procedure to discuss what was seen. If a biopsy was done the results usually take 7 days for the final result to be released.
Your child will need to be on a certain diet before the procedure is done. If part of the colon (large intestine) is looked at, then medicine to clean out the colon needs to be taken. This must be done in order for the doctor to be able to do the procedure.
