Comment: | The Hirschsprung's and Motility Disorders Support Network (HMDSN), is an organisation that makes it possible for of ordinary people and families, who's children suffer from Hirschsprung's Disease and other Gastrointestinal motility disorders to support each other. The Society is run by Gerry McGregor, who lives in the UK, and Lisa Busha in the USA. They have no full time staff and do not receive any money from anyone. Because of this your question or request to join may seem to take a long time; please be patient!
Gastrointestinal motility is defined by the movements of the digestive system and the ability to rid the body of unneeded waste. When nerves or muscles in any portion of the digestive tract do not function correctly, symptoms develop related to motility problems. These symptoms may include constipation, abdominal distention, reflux, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. The most common disorders HMDSN encounters are Hirschsprung's Disease (HD), Intestinal Neuronal Dysplasia (IND or NID) and Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction (CIP). |
