Hey there

True has more complications beyond the hypoglycemia and possible

endocrine/growth issues. He has not been able to start solid foods because of

his

severe allergies and possible eosinophilic disease. We have been in a lengthy

diagnostic process to either rule out or confim ED. Part of that process is to

start food trials and then be re-scoped.

In two weeks, we are supposed to start our food trials. In the past, with

the other two we have done, vomitting and diarrhea are a major part of his

failures.

When he was hospitalized last time for hypoglycemia, the endocrinologist

said that vomitting just one time is enough to send his system in a downward

spiral b/c he doesn't have the storage (via body fat) to keep his glucose up

when that happens.

I know some of the RSS kids have reflux. I don't know how severe it is.

But I wondered if they ahve reflux and hypoglycemia...what does the vomitting

do to their glucose readings? I am quite nervous now to start food trials

(have been SO excited about it before this happened) although I still plan to

in

the hopes that we can find a few foods he can tolerate. However, I am

worried that we will get in this big cycle of feeing a food...him reacting with

vomitting or diarrhea...then blood sugar crisis...can anyone relate? I doubt

there's anyone out there with the exact same issues but advice is very

welcomed here.

Another question is...does diarrhea in your children cause a hypoglycemia

crisis?

thank you
