Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Patients with HIRSCHSPRUNG disease can have slowness of bowel movements and these patients are more prone to have stasis of stool in gut. So these patients are more at risk of having gut infections specially anaerobic infections/bacterial overgrowth , in your son case its likely that he is having an acute infection.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
