Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Glenda, I'm just catching up on posts and tried to email privately but it was sent back. Anyway, my daughter has been g-tube fed since one month old and has been casted since Feb '09 and has experience varying degrees of reflux. The cast does aggrivate the reflux/vomiting, but as she's grown she doesn't throw up as much as she used to. We duct tape all around the top of the cast, around the tummy cut-out, and bottom, so that fluids don't penetrate the cast and cause odor, and we also have her sleep in a bouncy seat with a syringe attached to her feeding tube so that she can " vent " during her night feeds. I'd like to hear about your child's g-tube experience. You can email me if you'd like... mom to Audrey, 6th cast, SLC > > Does anyone have any experience casting a child with a g-tube and severe reflux? > > > not eating > > > > Hey everyone--- > Logan has decided to become a breatharian.

We cut it off yesterday and still no eating, we were afraid the cast was putting pressure on his tummy which was causing the drop in appetite. > > On the more positive side...he back looks incredible! We can ACTUALLY tell we made some improvement with this cast!! <--happy mama here! > > Do any other mamas out there have issues with non eating kids? > > Thanks all > > Logan's mama (45 down to 9 out of cast, 2 years old, 8th cast) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
