Stomach Removed Question About Diet Posted: 06-06-05 09:08am
My son had his stomach removed 14 years
ago. As the prescribed diets did not work
for him, the specialist advised him to
find out what he could endure best. It
was advised that he takes 6 to 8 small
meals a day. But he has to inject himself
before he even eats a cookie. So that
meant 6 to 8 injections a day. Even so
eating causes dumping syndrome, wich means
that even after a small bite he has to
rest for an hour or more. Now he takes
only two meals a day. Thus he has some
energy in the morning, depending on how he
got trough the night. (often vomiting in
his sleep) he found out that he can
compensate the general loss of energy by
using a lot of refined sugar. In general
this is contrary to all advice on this
point. His question is : is there anyone
that has the same experience. That is:
has anyone found out that going against
the advices from doctor an dietist makes
him/her feel better.
He has been experimenting in this field
for so may years now.
Thank you for any reaction
