HD is a rare intestinal disease where the walls of the intestines are missing the proper nerve cells, which causes the intestines not to have movement. My daughter is about of the 10% in which this disease effects the entire colon.
Symptoms:
No bowel movements, major constipation, vomit/green vial.
Testing/Diagnosis:
Biopsy.
Treatment:
Surgery for an ileostomy at 1 month old, surgery at a year old to reverse the ileostomy, remove the large intestines, and pull the small through to the rectum.
