Diarrhea claims the lives of 500,000 children each year in low- and middle-income countries. Now, Danish and Ethiopian researchers have linked chronic diarrhea to a specific pattern of gut ...

At only two days old, Sophie was losing too much weight, and too quickly. Further genetic testing would show that Sophie has ...

Children, toddlers, and babies with mild diarrhea who aren't vomiting can continue drinking what they normally do, whether that is breast milk, cow's milk, or formula. Young children may drink ...

Diarrhea commonly occurs in both adults and children and can cause dehydration. Diarrhea can be acute or chronic (long-term). An acute episode of diarrhea can be caused by gastroenteritis or ...

Next-generation sequencing has enabled precision therapeutic approaches that have improved the lives of children with rare diseases. Congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs) are associated ...

Further genetic testing would show that Sophie has one of a group of rare conditions called CODE (congenital diarrhea and enteropathies) that disrupts the function of cells in the intestine, causing ...
