What Are The Symptoms Of Spine Curving?
Special needs Rett Girl has pain for 40 mins or more after eating (crying screaming).. once she belches four or five times it is like turning a light switch on. Also Rett Girls tend to swallow lots of air. Was wondering if could also be a sign of the spine curving.

Hello,
A very nice study looked at a variety of Rett children and specific risk factors that seemed to be tied to the development and severity of scoliosis which is the most common orthopedic anomaly seen in this condition.
Of the variety of parameters, they looked at, belching to relieve trapped gastric air after meals were not included although they did have several items categorized as "feeding problems"
You can look up the article to see all the risk factors they did mention and measure.
With your daughter's belching as being so apparently associated with feeding I'm certain that had any of their study girls had that type of issue they would've looked at it in the context of their study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
