小儿乳糜泻及嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎门诊

UCLA Health experts come together to care for children with celiac disease and eosinophilic esophagitis. 自身免疫性疾病, eosinophilic esophagitis causes white blood cells to build up in the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). It can cause health issues and lead to feeding problems, which can affect a child’s growth.

乳糜泻 is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage in the small intestine. 这种炎症是由食用麸质(小麦、黑麦和大麦的蛋白质碎片)引起的。.

Our pediatric gastroenterologists and 过敏与免疫学 specialists combine years of experience and expertise to diagnose and treat these digestive disorders. 我们评估营养因素, 免疫系统和肠道微生物群(生活在消化道中的有机体).
