Hirschsprung's Disease Awareness Products

Hirschsprung disease occurs in 1 out of every 5,000 live births. The disease occurs more often in males than in females, and sometimes can be associated with inherited conditions, one common example being Down syndrome. Hirschsprung disease, also known as megacolon, is a congenital (happening before birth) condition in which nerve cells in the lining of the intestine do not develop properly. These nerves are responsible for the wave-like motion that helps push food through the intestines so that it can be digested and passed out of the body as stool. This is a cause I hold dear to my heart as I have a daughter who has been diagnosed with it. She received her first colostomy at 6 weeks old. At the age of 4 she got her permanent colostomy and fistula. I put great pride and heart into each of these designs you see. New products are created often.
