I would like to know what her sprung disease is.?

Q: my 18 month old son suffers with constipation,he has been having problems since he was 8 weeks old. he has a good diet plenty of fluids,fruit, and veg, prunes raisains nothing helps. My GP prescribed lactolose, this does not help. I have to give him suppositories for him to open his bowels, which long term is not good for him. someone told me that he might have her sprung disease. I would like to know what this is.

A: Hirschsprung’s disease is a congenital absence of autonomic ganglia in the smooth muscle wall of the colon, which causes poor or absent peristalsis in the portion of the colon involved. It results in the accumulation of feces in the bowel (megacolon). The symptoms include intermittent vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. There may be severe abdominal distention. This condition is usually diagnosed in infancy. Ask your son’s pediatrician (NOT a general practitioner) about it. I’m hoping your son has chronic constipation rather than Hirschsprung’s. He/she may wish to prescribe docusate, a stool softener. If it’s severe constipation, your child may need a stool softener instead of more fiber (Lactulose, Miralax, prunes, etc.) Although docusate is sold OTC (Colace for example), it’s wiser to consult with your pediatrician first. Please do not prescribe by yourself. Your son may even have a partial bowel obstruction. And why is YOUR general practitioner prescribing for your son???
