My 30 year old son just had an endoscopy. He has had Barretts since the age of 7. He has had two fundo plycations, one open and one closed. He was at one time diagnosed with ehlers-danlos however now his doctor says he doesn t have it. Following his procedure today, the doctor said he had a very large opening into the pylorus, he even thought perhaps they had surgically relaxed the pyloric splinter. He stated what I already knew, that there was no record of this. He seemed to think this was a good thing. My son continues to have several digestive and elimination issues. Wouldn t a lax pyloric splinter be a bad thing? Could this be the reason he can t gain weight and be causing the stomach pains, nausea and inability to empty his bowels?
