Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hi everyone! I was just wondering if any other RSS child has an extended belly? Thanks and can't wait to see everyone! le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 What do you mean by extended belly? Are you talking about distention as in gut dysmotility, or something else? If you are talking about distention, I am quite familiar with that. Max gets that every time he is sick with stomach issues and it takes months to get his back to " normal, " whatever that is for him! Jodi Z.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 le - It took us 8 years to find out what the extended belly on an RSS/SGA child often is..... it is usually a sign of delayed gastric emptying/constipation. The food is sitting in their little tummys and causes that distended look. We can always tell when 's gastric emptying is slow because suddenly she looks pregnant.... This is the kind of question you DO want to ask Dr. Harbison (e.g., my child's stomach is often distended looking -- could this be a sign of delayed gastric emptying?) Jenn > Hi everyone!
