Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My friend s son has been constipated for weeks now. His stomach swells up. He has been to the ER serval times. They have not found what is wrong with him. The MRI came out fine. But his stomach gets so swollen that when he walks he opens his legs. The laxitives have not work. I feel so bad for kid. What could it be???
hi, As nothing is mentioned about him like his age, weight, co morbid illness and family history, it is difficult to make a differential diagnosis. However, i get the impression that it could be some neurological disorder of the gut. consulting a gastroenterologist will be of extreme help to you. All the best.
