Guest guest Posted January 23, 1996 Report Share Posted January 23, 1996 Hi, Could someone please give me an explanation on slow motility or even a web-site? I am sure that this is what is wrong with my grand-daughter aged 2 years. She has always had a lot of trouble when trying to pass a bowel motion and as a baby screamed when trying. It now takes up to 3 or 4 days with her lying on her side several times over a 3 or 4 day period trying to push the 'poo' out. You can see her stomach muscles working so hard as she tries to push. I worry that she will become very self-conscious with having so much trouble with the pushing that she will stop trying and become severely constipated. We live in New-Zealand where Mito is a 'never heard of' disorder so I need information to educate my grand-daughter's paediatrician. Thank-you, Re: Upper GI/lower follow through results A fundo is probably not the best thing for a kiddo with really slow motility. But, yes, it is quite complicated. I would doubt that reducing the acidity would make digestion more difficult.Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.
