People with Angelman syndrome often experience GI and digestive issues from infancy to adulthood. This session will help attendees understand the link between neurodevelopmental delays and the gut microbiome, as well as cover management and treatment for the most commonly observed GI issues in Angelman syndrome, such as constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, and abdominal pain, along with the less commonly reported issue of cyclical vomiting episodes and aspiration events, including prevention and treatment strategies.
The mission of Angelman Syndrome Foundation is to advance the awareness and treatment of Angelman syndrome through education and information, research and support for individuals with Angelman syndrome, their families and other concerned parties. We exist to give all of them a reason to smile, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
