If the gastrointestinal tract can be used for refeeding, it should be used. When the gastrointestinal tract is unable to meet the protein and energy requirements, parenteral nutrition (PN) is required.

The term ‘dyspepsia’ is an adult one whose definition requires clarification before use in the paediatric context, but it encompasses age-dependent symptoms such as feedassociated irritability in the infant, peri-umbilical pain in the younger child, and heartburn, nausea, and indigestion in the older child as in adults. The possible organic conditions giving rise to such symptoms are multiple and multiorgan and include: gastro-oesophageal reflux; peptic ulcer disease; upper gastrointestinal Crohn's disease; antroduodenal motility disorders; pancreatitis; cholecystitis; cholelithiasis; biliary dyskinesia; and abdominal migraine. However, Munchausen syndrome by proxy must not be forgotten. Non-ulcer dyspepsia, it is now clear, has a basis in altered gastroduodenal motility and may be amenable to propulsion agents. In many individuals the dyspeptic symptoms of recurrent abdominal pain may be altered by psychotherapeutic intervention. Indeed there remains a proportion of children who undoubtedly have a behavioural or psychological base to their complaint. Nevertheless, with the recent increase in diagnostic yield from improved technical investigative aids available to paediatrics in the last 5–10 years, it is clear that the responsibility of the paediatrician to the child to find a cause of their symptoms is paramount.
