The PICC line gives me hydration that helps fight nausea and I get a vitamin bag at the moment for all my b vitamins and folic acid. I also take all medicine through an IV as well. They ordered a tpn bag for me which is complete nutrition but thank God I started to be to eat. You have options, you do not have to suffer. Prayers for you.
The scope showed that she has 3 small polyps in her small intestine and lots of inflamation in her colon (caused by the diarrhea). They felt that none of these things explained the cause. We ended up putting in a central IV and giving her TPN for nutritian and stopped all formula (she is Gtube fed). After about 6 weeks with the TPN and steroids, the diarrhea improved. Two weeks later she was put on amoxicillin for a sinus infection. After 2 doses, the diarrhea was back, and bad!

She is seeing a special GI Doc that has lots of experience in this but is not, per se, a motility specialist. Our insurance doesnt cover out of network, and we were trying someone a little more local before going to a big university. Do you know anything about this drug? What has worked for you?
My sister who is 44 years old had a bowel obstruction in Oct. 08. After almost dying, she had her entire small intestine removed. Up till now, she has survived with TPN only and cannot tolerate whole foods. She wears a bag to her stoma removing the bile and found out on Friday three days ago, that her gall bladder must be removed laproscopically. Until then, she was waiting to hear from the insurance if she would be able to move forward for a 'live' small transplant or a cadaver's.

Many of the threads talk about side effects and toxicity, etc, so they will probably be of more value to you, as I took it as an appetite stimulant while on TPN to gain weight back. I believe it is more often used for breast cancer, so there are quite a few posts in the archives from that forum. I hope you find what you are looking for.
she has radiation enteritis and can not eat anything. so she is being fed by TPN. it is a IV catheter, with a picc line that goes directly to the heart. her line became infected in february, with positive cultures for yeast and bacteria(i cant remember the bacterial strain). it was dxed as early sepsis and she cleared in 9 days of iv antibiotics. she was moved to a skilled nurse facility to finnish her iv tx, and pt.after 2 weeks there she developed a UTI.
I'm on protonix and it's great! I take one every morning and without it I'm in trouble around dinner time. It'll take 2/3 days before it takes full effect but after that it does wonders. Welcome to the club.
My son had liver enzymes alt and ast that were at over 300 and then over 2000 4 weeks later. He develped a bleed and died. Could he have had liver failure in that short of time. He had been on a TPN feeding for 8 weeks. Just curious.

was in hosp for 5 days on all liquid diet, could not stand it. Finally had a port put in and they said iI could go home if my husband could learn how to infuse me. Using a portable carlin pump.
Your grandson is likely to be receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), which provides all the nutrients required for growth and development through IV fluids. TPN includes not only glucose, but also amino acids (for protein building), essential fats, vitamins, and minerals.
As the intestinal tract is able to tolerate more feeding, the TPN will gradually be reduced.
Everything just kind of hit at once. I will go home in the next day or so and will have to take TPN with me.
Now he is 2months and is on tpn,gentamicin, amphotericin, and getting blood transfusion from time to time. All his blood cultures has been negative but his CRP level has been elevating and decreases betewen 3-25. They started him on breast milk about a month ago then stopped it because they thought he had NEC but didnt. So he was getting antibiotics and TPN/fluids alone because they say his CRP was too elevated to start back his feeds..
Lately I have been experiencing some acid reflux, so my doc has put me on some protonix. I have to see if gets better. Though it is not that bad (i feel some itchiness in throat)am under constant fear to have anything cold because it could get bad. I am thinking it could be some sort of allergy, has someone had similar experience? And common reasons?
