Signs Of Hirschsprung Disease

Vomiting

Along with no bowel movement in the forty-eight hours after birth, vomiting is the other symptom that is often present right after birth. Healthy infants will ingest milk and pass it through their intestinal system, but Hirschsprung's disease causes this process to begin moving backward. In many cases, an infant will begin to vomit because their intestines and stomach are already full. Adding more food to the stomach will just cause it to flow back outwards. The substance may look black, brown, or green. It is generally quite liquid since it typically occurs at an earlier stage when infants are still just eating milk. However, it is possible for individuals who do not exhibit signs of Hirschsprung's disease until later in life to have problems with frequent vomiting too.
