Have you ever come across a baby with chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction who eats normally?
During my daughters well periods she eats very well and gains weight, then she will have a bad period, start blocking up, stop pooig by herself and lose weight and appetite. She is usually admitted to hospital vomitting bile and put on a drip.
If she continues to have dips they said she will have to have an illieostomy. Would you say this is the best course of action?
We are about to start a bowel cleanse regime, using gut friendly antibiotics which sit in the bowel rather than being absorbed.Could it be malabsorbtion? That doesnt solve the blockages though does it.
Shes had 2 biopsies, an edoscopy and laperotomy (sp!?), been tested for milk or lactose intolerace, and they all drew blanks.
Meds: Senokot, movicol, suppositories, enemas, rectal washouts and soon the new anti-bi’s.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
hello thankyou for your input. they took bowel biopsies to rule out a nerve disorder. they saw nerve staining so ruled out hirschsprungs. after what you said im going to mention about diabeties at her next check, thanks x

Probiotics seems like a good place to start to me, I’ve known adults with that set of symptoms stemmed from having lost needed intestinal flora due to heavy antibiotic use. Even if they have her on digestive tract friendly antibiotics, a diet rich in things like yogurt at the same time might be worth considering.
I’m assuming they’d checked her for nervous disorders, it’s possible I suppose the nerves in the bowel aren’t sending the signals to contract on their own. If not, that might be important to look into at this point.
I know this sounds obvious, but is she dehydrated at all along with the more obvious symptoms? I mean, if she were diabetic say, and the doctors never tested her a1c levels and missed it, one of the side effects would be dehydration and constipation.
I’m sorry, those are my first thoughts.
