Ask Dr Jessica

On this weeks Ask Dr Jessica, she is joined by her uncle and Gastroenterologist Dr Jonathan Matthew. Children commonly get stomach pains, but how should parents approach them? How do they know what to do, and when to see a doctor? We will discuss common causes of stomachaches in children, including IBS, constipation, anxiety and even the "red flags" of appendicitis. Dr Matthew has been a gastroenterologist for 40 years, and he is widely loved by his patients. He trained at UCLA for medical school, residency and fellowship. He is an avid reader, golfer, UCLA sports fan, and proud father of 3 children and grandfather to 8 grandchildren.
