Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 Gaby had a 'dumping like syndrome' for a about 2 years some time back.It was never formally termed dumping syndrome, as literature says you either have it or you don't!! Gaby had a fundoplicatin when she was 2, but the dumping didn't start until she was 4,and a year after she started the keto diet (by g tube). After feeds, she would become pale and mottled.She would become drowsy, irritable, and begin to gag (as if to vomit) when we vented her G tube, there would be no formula to release, therefore..the theory that she had 'dumped her feed'. She would regularly lose consciusness for up to 20 minutes, then the episode would reolve spontaneously,She would wake up, and sing (as she always does!!) Her BSL's varied very little, so hypoglycaemia was never really an obvious cause..but the 'dumping of her feed' certainly did something. She has Numerous tests..but it all stopped when we changed her formula. Strange thing was though,,she was still on the keto diet, same fat:protein:carb ratio, just a different brand. Another mystery of a mito child!! ne, mum to Gaby aged 8. PDH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
