Concerning: Would want opinion of pediatric surgeon. Repeated intussusception certainly not normal. Mekel's diverticulum commonly associated with children and this condition. Link below with helpful info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/intussusception/basics/definition/con-20026823 Need to have discussion with pediatric surgeon esp if repeated episodes. Best of luck with this.
