Has anyone elses infant been diagnosed with pyloric stenosis?
Category: Pyloric Stenosis
My son was diagnosed at 8 wks with pyloric stenosis. His symptoms were projectile vomiting, brown vomit, lack of bowel movements, and overall fussy. We had been to the hospital 3 times before and they told us reflux disease, so we finally went to another hospital and they took an xray of his tummy, then an ultrasound. The muscle at the bottom of his stomache had grown so large it was actually cutting off the flow of food to his bowels. I started a group called infant pyloric stenosis, and I just want to know how may other parents have sons and daughters with documented cases.

my lil brother had it. and he was i think like 2 weeks old when we found out. He is now 17 yrs old. That was one of the scarest things i ever witnessed in my life. I was 10 yrs old. He had to have surgery and is a perfectly healthy boy. My mom told me that it could also be hereditary.and happens in more boys than girls. I have a lil boy. So I read up on it whenever I found out we were having a boy. Good luck i hope everythong goes good for you.
