Gastroenteritis ketones
Common Questions and Answers about Gastroenteritis ketones
gastroenteritis
I spent 4 days in the hospital with electrolytes out of balance due to dehydration from uncontrollable diahrrea and vomiting; diagnosed as Acute Gastroenteritis. A year ago I began having intermittent bouts of vomiting bile every few months. Have been on all PPI's and Acid Reflux controlled pretty well but still have vomiting episodes. What's your recommendation? This leaves me wiped out for a couple of days with tenderness in stomach and right abdomen.
The total CO2 is usually somewhat low as well, (14-19 mMol/L is typical), and if urine is obtained, high levels of ketones are discovered. Ketones can also be measured in the blood at the bedside (Medisense glucometer). Other routine tests are normal. If given intravenous fluids with saline and dextrose, the child improves dramatically and is usually restored to normal health within a few hours.
A first episode is usually attributed to a viral infection or acute gastroenteritis.

My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
I went up there and took her to the doctor and she was basically told is was a stomach virus (gastroenteritis) drink plenty of fluids and it should go away in a couple of days but when I look up Gastroenteritis it says that it's common in people with weaken immune system caused by HIV.
She took her 3 month birth control shot the morning before but I'm sure that didn't cause Gastroenteritis. My question is should I be concerned about HIV at this point.
Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
Hi. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Any ketones are bad, and need to be dealt with immediately with insulin. Depending on the reason for the ketones, they can last that long, but it's not typical. 3 days is a long time to go with ketones. When ketones last that long, the amount of insulin given to treat it must be increased until the ketones go away. Simply giving extra is not enough. Thanks for being so concerned about your student.
I'm a type 1- use a Cozmo pump. I need some clarification on the subject of ketones(and just under what circumstances they are "dangerous." Say you've got a stomach ache, and are running blood sugars between 150-400. Testing urinary ketones (large- 300 mg/dl plus) and small (under 200). Never quite getting rid of the ketones. I know a blood sugar of 150 is not going to put you into DKA but surely its not good to have any ketones at all.
If ketones are trace to small: it is usually recommended to drink lots of sugar free fluids and check for ketones every few hours. (Some doctors suggest a small dose of fast acting insulin- check with your doctor)
If ketones are moderate to large; it is usually recommended to contact your doctor to see how much short acting insulin to take (some doctors have a sliding scale on how much to give) Continue to drink lots of fluids.
I just noticed your reply and wanted to encourage you to test for ketones and to avoid getting high levels of ketones. From the little bit of reading I've done, ketones can harm your baby severely.
Are you diabetic? Gestational diabetes? Type 1? Type 2? If so, it's important that you work with a high risk pregnancy team. It's not "right" that the medical team of a diabetic pregnant woman couldn't answer the question "what are ketones?
So my ketones have ranged from 0.2 to 4.2 which they’re 4.2 mmol/l rn for few weeks. I took some insulin but im tired, thirsty, probably dehydrated and kinda nauseous from time to time. Idk what to do bc im underage i dont want my parents knowing idk if im in DKA either bc my ketones were 0.2 mmol/l in the morning and 4.2 mmol/l now.
Help?

The alcohol test may not be able to distinguish between ketones in diabetes and alcohol. So for sure ketones could affect the test results. You need to discuss this specifically with the pain clinic doctors. You may need to show them proof about your blood sugar levels / ketones.
You may need to do ketone testing as well.

They'll most likely put you on am iv for fluids. Ketones are found in urine when you're dehydrated. I had HG with my first pregnancy and once a day I'd have to pee on a stick that measured ketones in my urine, if it was higher some days they would make me drink an extra 2 or 3 water bottles or go in for iv fluids. Stay hydrated!! Goodluck!
s endocrinologist has recommended that she test her urine for ketones if her bg is over 170 as she is on an insulin pump. Ketones can poison the body and some action should be taken if the urine test strip indicates that they are present. Ketones are a warning sign that your diabetes may be out of control or that you are getting sick. Ketones are flushed from your body by drinking lots and lots of water or non-caloric fluids. Ketoacidosis can occur if the ketones are not flushed immediately.
I have type 2 and take insulin. I recently had a battle with food poisoning and my glucose went way up(as high as 250) and I was passing ketones, something I haven't done since starting insulin three years ago. When I peed in a cup to test for ketones it smelled like honey. I wasn't eating much at all and what I ate didn't stay down, so -- why the high sugars?
On day 7 of a severe case of gastroenteritis. Everything seems to have calmed down, but once I try and eat anything stomach cramps start, which are unbearable. Sometimes followed by diarrhoea. Is this normal after a severe case of gastroenteritis or do I need to see my G.P again?
Ketones are normally released into the urine. If ketone levels are very high or if the person is dehydrated, ketones may begin to build up in the blood. High blood levels of ketones may cause "fruity-smelling breath," loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and fast, deep breathing.
If you have any other symptoms that you are concerned about, I encourage you to make an appointment with your doctor.
