When your child has repeated vomiting, loose stools, tummy pain, or feeding struggles, it can feel exhausting and confusing. Many parents are told it is “just sensitive digestion” while the symptoms continue.
At his clinic, Dr. Mahesh Katre understands how stressful feeding problems can be. Gastrointestinal allergies are assessed gently, carefully, and without rushing.
The goal is simple – help your child feel comfortable and help you feel confident again.
A gastrointestinal allergy happens when a child’s digestive system reacts to certain foods.
Unlike typical food allergies, these reactions may not always cause rashes or breathing issues. Instead, they mainly affect the stomach and bowels.
With the right care, many children improve as they grow.
These symptoms can be especially worrying in infants. Early evaluation helps prevent prolonged discomfort.
Everything begins with listening.
Testing is recommended only when it truly adds value. Parents are guided clearly at every step.
Treatment focuses on comfort and healthy growth.
Parents are supported closely so dietary changes feel manageable, not overwhelming.
One of the biggest worries parents have is trying foods again after a reaction.
Many GI allergies improve with time. Careful reintroduction helps children expand their diet safely.
The aim is not just to reduce symptoms, but to help your child eat comfortably, grow well, and enjoy daily life.
Every decision is made with your child’s wellbeing at the centre.
