Yes,: Cerebral palsy may involve motor and sensory disabilities that lead to problems with coordination, walking, speech, and swallowing. Patients with CP may also have bladder and bowel control problems, eating difficulties and digestive difficulties. Please evaluate your child’s diet to make sure he is getting enough fiber and enough fluid. Have your doctor recommend a bowel program for regularity.
