However endoscopy in preference to barium studies and ultrasound may demonstrate changes associated with inflammatory bowel disease or intussusception9. Constipation Abdominal radiography will show extensive faecal material as a normal feature in many children and therefore imaging is not helpful in the diagnosis or management of constipation and should not be performed routinely9. Chronic diarrhoea Chronic diarrhoea is a non-specific sign of abdominal pathology. Clinical diagnosis relies heavily on patient medical history and the pathological assessment of stool specimens. Barium examinations if undertaken may show signs of inflammatory bowel disease. However for many patients presenting with diarrhoea as a result of a small bowel mucosal disorder only a non-specific malabsorption pattern thickened mucosal folds bowel wall oedema barium flocculation will be seen6 and in these cases more invasive diagnostic investigations . jejunoscopy should be considered.
