Welcome to the Paediatric Gut Investigation Clinic, founded by Dr. Michael Hii, Consultant Paediatric Gastroenterologist, and Femi Omowo, Paediatric Nurse Specialist. Our clinic was established with a vision to provide a comprehensive, ‘one-stop’ clinical service for all paediatric gut conditions. Over the years, we have successfully treated children from various parts of the UK, including Bristol, Somerset, Norwich, Isle of Wight, and Northampton, and we are deeply committed to delivering exceptional care.
We specialize in a range of diagnostic tests aimed at ensuring accurate clinical diagnoses. These tests encompass hydrogen breath tests (for lactose, sucrose, fructose, and glucose intolerance), 24-hour pH studies, skin prick tests, colonic transit marker studies, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, video capsule endoscopy, and various imaging techniques such as abdominal ultrasound, MRI, CT scans, and X-rays. Additionally, we provide a phlebotomy service.
Our team of experienced paediatricians and consultants is dedicated to managing both organic and functional gut-related issues in children. We understand that conditions like chronic abdominal pain attributed to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) may have underlying causes such as food protein allergies or intolerances (e.g., milk, egg, wheat, soya), sugar intolerances (sorbitol, fructose, lactose, sucrose), small bowel bacterial overgrowth, or overt constipation. Once a diagnosis is made, we ensure that the appropriate treatment plan is implemented to improve or resolve symptoms effectively.
Conveniently located in West Sussex, we have partnered with Paediatric Diagnostics to offer a comprehensive suite of investigations. Paediatric Diagnostics is among the few private clinics nationwide to provide such specialized services for paediatric patients. Our clinic offers a convenient alternative to NHS hospitals or Central London for families seeking advanced investigations and care.
