A member asked:

8 year old develops scoliosis. bowel transit time changes from 8 hours to 24 hours. is the scoliosis responsible for the increase in bowel transit time? are there any known health effects with a 300% increase in bowel transit time?

Your post is confusing. Normal transit time (mouth to anus) for any kid is 3-4 days. Scoliosis is unusual in an 8 yr old unless they have a birth defect in their vertebrae. It may have just been noticed, but has been there for some time. Given the confusing information cited I can make no determination on the issue.
