This article describes the prevalence, in a cohort of children with CP, of gastrointestinal issues including: swallowing disorders, constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, abnormal esophageal motility, and delayed gastric emptying. You will be surprised how common these issues are in children with CP. Consider having a low threshold for evaluation.
