abstract on gastro issues...

[Guest guest]

Just happened to visit Dr. Len's site today and this abstract caught my eye:

http://www.ds-health.com/abst/a0801.htm

What's interesting is Dr. Len's quote at the bottom

" I'm not surprised by the celiac disease or the reflux. I was surprised by the

large number with H. pylori, a type of bacterium associated with ulcers and

gastritis. Adults with DS with chronic abdominal pain or reflux should be tested

for this germ, which involves a simple blood test. "

Anyone ever have their child tested for H. pylori?

Take care,
