Wireless motility capsule test in children with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.

Objective: To compare scintigraphic gastric emptying and antroduodenal manometry (ADM) studies with the wireless motility capsule test in symptomatic pediatric patients.

Study Design: Patients aged 8-17 years with severe upper gastrointestinal symptoms (ie, nausea, vomiting, retching, abdominal pain) referred for ADM were recruited. A standardized protocol for ADM was used.

Severe pediatric rumination syndrome: successful interdisciplinary inpatient management.

Background: Rumination syndrome is a condition that occurs when people constantly regurgitate and expel or reswallow food soon after they eat. The most severe cases of rumination syndrome can be debilitating, requiring total parenteral nutrition or enteral tube feedings. We report our experience with the treatment of children with severe rumination syndrome.
