RE: Dumping syndrome

[Guest guest]

Is he having diarrhea after the feeding? That is usually the case with dumping

syndrome. Does your doctor think he needs an abdominal xray to rule out

constipation (impaction of stool)? Sometimes you can have stool higher up in

the colon which is having a hard time getting out but at the same time get

diarrhea as the loose stool goes around the harder stool.

What kind of tube feeding formula is he on? Have they adjusted it since the

diagnosis of dumping syndrome?

Hello group,I was wondering if anyone has a child that has or had dumping

syndromeafter having a g-tube with the nissan surgery. My son Mason just hadthis

done on 11/21 and he was doing ok but they determined that he haddumping

syndrome. And he was put on Acorbose to control this. He'sbeen have a lot of

stomach tightness and crying every time I move himor he tightens his stomach in

anyway. I even try venting him and thathasn't been helping much. The doctor

thinks it may just beconstipation but he's had plenty of BM's since the surgery,

evendiarrhea. I'm just concerned because he NEVER complains and doesn'teven

flinch when giving blood, which is using painful to kids. So hecan obviously

tolerate pain so it seems as though he's in a lot ofpain. Has anyone else dealt

with such a thing after G-tube surgery??Or does anyone else's child having

dumping syndrome?? Any suggestions? Thanks,ChrissyMom to Mason (4 on 12/22, BF
