[quote=Anonymous]My 7 year old has had constipation for years and we finally got a diagnosis of dysmotility. I am awaiting a follow up appointment with the GI so apologies if I have the terminalogy incorrect. Does anyone have experience with this? What can I expect? The doctor mentioned to me that they might do something with electrodes to sort of pulse his colon to strengthen it? I also am not sure if we will ever find an underlying cause. My child is very active, plays sports, drinks a lot of water, and eats very well (in fact loves vegetables) so it’s likely to be something internal. Does that even matter at this point? Sorry if I sound ignorant, it’s just been a long road thus far and I know my doctor will answer some of my questions in a few weeks but I’m also just looking for any stories/advice from parents who have BTDT.[/quote]
