constipation - does this sound like you?

by Dr Mum, Feb 24, 2002 12:00AM
My son is now almost 6 years old.

HISTORY: malrotion of bowel and release of ladds bands 5 day old

         repair of adhesions in both upper/lower bowel 22 months



He had 1 year after repair as a normally healthy child.



He now suffers cronic constipation, soiling, abdominal pain,

swollows down vomitt, sore legs, loss of appetite at times.

Ocassionally lethargic and dreamy in his own world.



He gets regular bowel wash outs through nasel tube to empty

his bowel. Is on laxatives which make his stolls very soft

but it still wont expell properly except stain.



Can you relate to this, If so please make contact as knowledge

is important to me. from Dr Mum at ***@**** or

online. Thanks again.
