Pediatric gastroenterologist Dr. Jacqueline Jossen treats children with diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and intestinal tract, as well as disorders of nutrition. She specializes in celiac disease, a chronic disease in which ingestion of gluten causes damage to the small intestine. Patients with celiac disease require support from dietitians, and from providers who understand the disease and can coach patients throughout their childhood and adolescence and into adulthood, she notes.
“One of the most important things I can do is find the cause of and alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms, so children can return to a normal quality of life, and enjoy the simple pleasures and social interactions around eating and food, and so that they can grow and thrive.”
