Ditto, Mitchell has always had bowel issues, and has just spent 10 days in hospital with a severe impaction.......... now his bowel is hardly working at alll, and he has to have bowel softeners, bowel stimulants and lots and lots of movicol (osmotic laxative) every day.........
I think sometimes the gastro doctors underestimate the effect of DMD on the smooth muscle in the bowel - some say it is affected, most say it isn't.......
Age wise I don't know, Mitch is 11, but he stopped walking at 7 so I guess its all relative.....
