Corn Starch

[Guest guest]

Well, with Ian's recent hypoglycemia issues....and a situation that

occurred with him the other morning (Ian exhibited a reactive

hypoglycemima " attack " after eating two small donuts for breakfast -

he 'crashed' - sweating and falling immediately asleep - he perked-

up after 10 min with cheerios and Nutren supplement and was fine the

rest of the day) - but, after this recent acute illness - I've been

more inclined to give him the corn starch to him at night from here

on out. I've tried to give it to him in drinks and ice cream and he

won't eat it. He has such sensory issues with his mouth that he

can " taste " it quickly, starts crying and gets mad at me and won't

eat/drink anything with corn starch in it. Tonight, I finally gave

him some chocolate milk/corn starch mix in a " syringe " (like I do

for medicine) and " forced " him to drink it. He was not happy with

me. Oh well.

Any other suggestions on how to administer it since he doesn't have

a G-tube?

And, since I don't have the article in front of me that MAGIC offers

about the corn starch - can anyone tell me what the ratios/amounts

are to liquid that I should be using?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
