Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I'm a 36 year old female with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and have a 7 year old daughter with same. Both of us have had obstructions due to adhesions. I had surgery about 10 years ago for the problem. I also had another abdominal surgery less than 3 months ago where the doctor had to clear up many adhesions in addition to taking care of my initial problem.

You do not say where you are from, but through a network of online friends, I have a good number of physician names from all over the US and a few in Europe that are very experienced in treating HD and it's many comlications. Please feel free to email me and I'll pass the information along.

Sincerely, Karen H.
