This may be due to a polyp or occasionally allergy. If there is concern of possible inflammatory bowel disease, an ileo-colonoscopy may be required and this would need to be performed by a paediatric gastroenterologist capable of performing this specialist investigation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”OUR SERVICES” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off”
