Jessica Laird's picture Submitted by Jessica Laird on Mon, 01/20/2020 - 12:15pm

Connecticut Children’s has seven locations offering pediatric gastroenterology services, including three in Fairfield County.

When it comes to kids, stomach aches are two things: common and complicated.

So, when a pediatric specialist at Connecticut Children’s offered to give us the lowdown on stomach ache causes that may actually be more serious, the worried mom in me was all ears. And if you're no stranger to the infamous cry of "my belly hurts," you'll definitely want to read on to see if it's time to schedule an appointment.
