Stamatiki Kritas is a paediatric gastroenterologist based in North Adelaide, South Australia. You can find the practice at 72 King William Road, North Adelaide, SA 5006. Stamatiki works with families to help kids feel better when there are tummy and gut-related problems.
As a paediatric specialist, the focus is on children and young people. That can mean helping with everyday issues like indigestion, as well as longer-term digestive concerns. Some kids are just struggling to settle their stomach. Others have symptoms that keep coming back, or get in the way of eating, comfort, or day-to-day life.
Stamatiki also looks after children with gastro-oesophageal reflux. In many cases, this starts in infancy, and it can show up as frequent spit-up, discomfort after feeds, or feeding stress. For older kids, reflux disease (GERD) can affect sleep and appetite too. At times, swallowing difficulty is part of the picture, so the approach looks at how food and drinks are going down, not just how the stomach feels.
There are also some special conditions that bring kids to a paediatric gastroenterologist. Stamatiki cares for children living with cystic fibrosis, where gut health can be important for nutrition and growth. Children with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) may also need support when digestion and gut movement cause ongoing problems. And when weight is a concern, Stamatiki works through options and practical next steps for childhood obesity, aiming to keep things realistic and focused on health.
Experience matters a lot in paediatrics, because each child is different. Stamatiki treats every family with care and keeps things clear and calm. The goal is to understand what’s been happening, what makes symptoms better or worse, and what support will help most. Over time, that can mean changes to diet, feeding habits, and treatment plans that fit around school, home routines, and the child’s growth.
If your child is dealing with reflux, indigestion, swallowing issues, or a more complex gut condition, Stamatiki Kritas can help guide the next steps. It’s all about getting answers, easing symptoms, and supporting kids to feel comfortable eating and living their day.
