Does any one have experience with Pyloric Stenosis? I have doing some research on GERD since my daughter was diagnosed, I really think her problems are more related to Pyloric Stenosis.

She has had problems since birth with vomitting and lack of bowel movements, but my ped was never concerned because she was gaining a good amount weight until recently. From what I have read GERD and PS have alot of the same symptoms, the lack of bowel movements is what me think PS could be her problem. Can this condition go for months before it peaks like GERD?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Has she had any testing done? That’s really the only way to know if it truly is Pyloric Stenosis.

Does she seem to be in pain? Does she eat well? How often does she vomit? Is it projectile?

If she has stopped gaining weight I’d urge her doctor to do some tests.

The lack of bowel movements could be due to DGE. My son had that problem as well.

We had the test done yesterday and it was negitive… (Thank God).

The GI is ordering some other test to see what is causing her to loose weight and vomitt.

Good luck. What tests is she having done? Hailey has always had infrequent bms, and I think it’s due more to slow motility than anything else. Glad to hear she doesn’t have pyloric stenosis.

Good luck. I hope they find the answer quickly. You must be so scared for her.

Yeah, she is already on Prevacid 15mg solutab, I tried to convince the GI to use the dosing on the http://www.marci-kids.com/ website. He said he would consider it, but he wants to run the test first…
