the smell of foodthe distention of the stomach
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This condition occurs when the ring-like muscle (pylorus) at the bottom of the stomach becomes thickened, leading to a blockage in the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine. The symptoms of this condition include forceful and projectile vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, and decreased bowel movements. This condition is more commonly found in newborns and occurs more frequently in males than females. In Emily’s case, the condition was identified through an X-ray, and surgery was performed to correct the blockage in the digestive system. After the surgery, Emily’s symptoms were resolved, and she was able to digest food properly.
