In this episode, hosts Drs. Peter Lu and Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Samuel Nurko about using neuromodulator medications like tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for children with functional abdominal pain disorders, now known as pain-predominant disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs). We discuss the rationale behind using these types of medications and how we can explain this rationale to families. We also discuss how to choose the right medication for each patient and differences between medications.
Dr. Nurko is Director of the Center for Motility and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders at Boston Children's Hospital and Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.

In this episode, hosts Dr. Peter Lu and Dr. Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Rachel Rosen about one of the most common problems we see as pediatric gastroenterologists (or as pediatricians): gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. She explains how she approaches the evaluation and management of babies who spit up frequently and why all that spits up is not GERD. We also talk about the care of older children and adolescents who have GERD, including those with GERD symptoms that persist despite a trial of acid suppression. She discusses the value of pH-impedance testing and also explains why she is cautious about recommending anti-reflux surgery.
Dr. Rosen is a pediatric gastroenterologist at Boston Children's Hospital, Director of their Aerodigestive Center, and an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She is also the first author of the 2018 NASPGHAN and ESPGHAN guidelines on the evaluation and management of children with GERD.
Learning Objectives:
1) Recognize the evolving definition of GERD in children.
2) Understand the pathophysiology and management of GERD symptoms in infants.
3) Understand the role of pH-impedance testing in the evaluation of children with GERD symptoms.
