Duodenal Atresia

  My daugher was born (1989) with Duodenal Atresia.  The condition was
  surgically corrected at birth.  When she was 6 she suffered two months
  of excruciating stomach pains.  After (seemingly) running out of
  options, exploratory surgery was performed.  The 'shunt' was open,
  though the surgeon reported 'extensive' internal scarring.  When she
  left the hospital she was told to take Propulsid 5mg. three times a
  day.  She has been doing so ever since.
  She has periodic 'tummy aches' but nothing dramatic.
  My questions are as follows:
  Is there any long term problem with taking Propulsid?
  Does the internal scarring portend future problems as she grows?
  Has there ever been any follow up on the health and lives of children
  born with this condition?

Dear Bob,
In answer to your first question, there are no known  long term problems associated with taking Propulsid.
Internal scarring or
