Bowel Sounds Ep. 1: Carlo Di Lorenzo – Pediatric Constipation

Hosts Dr. Jenn Lee and Dr. Peter Lu talk constipation controversies with former NASPGHAN President Dr. Carlo Di Lorenzo.  Do we really need to do rectal exams?  When should we get x-rays?  Is PEG3350 safe?  Do milk and cheese really cause constipation?  We answer all these questions and more.  As always, the discussion, views, and recommendations in this podcast are the sole responsibility of the hosts and guests and are subject to change over time with advances in the field. 

Produced by: Jenn Lee and Peter Lu
