Child digestive care in Walnut Creek, California

The UCSF Pediatric Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease (EGID) Clinic, located at 2401 Shadelands Drive in Walnut Creek, California, is a specialized institution dedicated to caring for children and teens with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. These rare conditions, including eosinophilic esophagitis, enteritis, and colitis, occur when high levels of eosinophils build up in the digestive system, leading to difficulties with swallowing, eating, and maintaining a healthy weight. The clinic is the only one in Northern California that provides comprehensive care for children with EGIDs. Their team of pediatric gastroenterologists, allergy specialists, dietitians, and social workers offer detailed medical history reviews, physical exams, and testing recommendations to identify triggers for the condition. They also provide support for families following restricted diets, connect patients with support groups, and offer resources for the EGID community.
