Summary

This study will evaluate changes in the fecal microbiome in constipated pediatric patients before and after antegrade continence enema placement and initiation of antegrade enema flushes. Subjects will have their microbiome sequenced prior to placement by obtaining a fecal sample. Pre-antegrade continence enema placement results will be compared to fecal samples obtained at 0, 4, 8 months after placement of the antegrade continence enema and initiation of miralax or golytely flushes to look for changes in bacterial diversity.
