Is Intussusception Hereditary?
Is Intussuseption herditary?
My son is 5 years old and about every 4-5 weeks my son has horrible cramps, severe diaherra and vomitting. He always complains of stomach cramps. But everytime I take him to the Dr they always say it's a stomach bug. My sister had this as a child and was wondering if I was to say something about family history they might actually look at my child more.
