How to help my 6yr old

Go to a homeopathic doctor. Why aren't the regular doctors feeding you through a Peg Tube. When my dad couldn't eat or drink they put in a Peg- Tube so that he would get fed.

i had the same problem and I got my gall bladder out. I feel great after that. Maybe you have acid reflux. Maybe you are anemic. You really need them to do an ultasound and x-rays and tons of blood work and anything else you can think of. I have a 6 year old daughter also and she would be worried about me like that too. She was worried when she was 4 and I passed out from my gall bladder. I was in and out of hospitals till they found out that my gall bladder was real sick and I had panceradis and my liver was swollen because of it!

If regular doctors find nothing then visit other kind of doctors. But please have help for your daughter. Don't try to solve this alone.

I think you need help caring for her and a new doctor. Hope you get both. Good luck.

terrible stoty i hope your helth get better

Maybe she could go with you to the doctor sometime and learn about what is wrong with you. It might make it less scary. Also, they do have counselors she could go to, to help her deal with these scary feelings. Hope this helps.

My heart goes out to you dizneydee! You've sure been having a rough two years. A lot of the posters have given you some good answers. Please, if you haven't, get a second opinion. Maybe you should see a gastroenterologist about this. Two years is a long time for no answers, and no solution. While it's good that they found out about the gallbladder problem, the underlying problem, whatever is causing your symptoms, is still not being addressed. Prior to all of this, were you on any sort of antibiotics for anything? My one Aunt had a similar thing to this, and it turned out that the one antibiotic she had taken killed off all the natural bacteria that was in her intestinal tract. Once the Dr's finally put two and two together, they found a medicine to restore the natural flora in the intestinal tract and she gradually got better. If you have not been doing so, please drink Ensure, or Boost, or something (store brand) that is equivalent. When I was a home hospice nurse, we used these extensively on people who could not get any good nutrition into them. I drank these when I was going through chemo when I couldn't keep food down, and they made such a big difference. If we don't have the proper fuel in our bodies our systems can't work to help us get better. I too used to pass out from dizziness when I got down to 88#. Boost, Ensure, etc will not hurt you in any way, but will replenish your body with the necessary vitamins and minerals and trace minerals that you need so badly. Pic lines and feeding tubes are good for most people, but for some, they cause repeated problems; but you still need to get in some good nutrition from somewhere! I had IBS for a total of 7 years. My regular Dr, and gastroenterologist were no help. Neither were any other Dr's I was sent to. My normal weight was 120#, but after years of problems and poor nutrition (from being unable to eat right) I dropped down to 88#. I went to a Dr who was also a homeopathic Dr and it made the biggest change in my life! We found that traditional 'chemical based' medicines were too strong for my system; the side effects were so much worse, and they really didn't do a lot to correct my problems. It took 5 of those years with taking homeopatic medicines to get my system back into control. I now am symptom free and able to eat anything again...I'm even up to 95#!! There's a lot of traditional Dr's who think homeopathy is bull, but you know, when I was a child in the 50's that's pretty much what most Dr's were. Once the age of 'miracle medicines' came around, homeopathy was looked at as old-fashioned. I've been really pleased at how much I've progressed, and how much better I am, it's like I got a brand new life! You know, maybe it's worth a shot to try, especially since traditional medicine isn't doing much for you, imho. I agree with the posters too, that you should let your daughter know what's going on. There is so much more fear of the unknown, than there is with knowing things. She just loves her mommy, and not knowing what's going on must be hard to bear. While you don't have to fully explain everything to her, she does need to know that if Mommy doesn't get to eat properly it makes you weak, and sometimes you pass out from being weak. Start simple with the basics, and then let her ask the questions that she wants to know. Six year olds are a whole lot smarter than we give them credit for. Please feel free to write via myLot mail if you want. I have a list of medical sites with explanations of homeopathic medicines (since my family and I have had to take them for so long), and any kind of thing you need researched to help you. Since I've had cancer and am homebound (6 years cancer free now) I do all the medical searches for people in my neighborhood when they ask. I've been a nurse since 1969, so if you ever need something explained, just holler and I can point you to answers. Hope you get to feeling better soon and find out what's causing all your problems! God Bless!

i would do like someone else had said and make a plan with her and a neighbor or a really close family friend who knows about the situation. Also I would talk to the school counselor and see if the school nurse can let her talk to the counselor when she starts having her "pains" this may help her some, and dont hide things from her, just be upfront and honest with her that you are sick and there maybe times when you dont feel good, my son is 4.5 and last year when he was 3.5 he saw me pass out while i was pregnant with my daughter (high blood preassure + pregnancy dont mix well ) but he got really upset, I sat down and explained things to him and he was fine. I tend to tell my son the truth about things that effect our family and he does quite well with things, better than I did when I was a kid and my mom tried to hide everything from me. But I also feel that each child is different. But maybe you can try it and see if it works with your daughter, it really can't hurt aything.

You really shoud be honest with her and tell her what is wrong. Children understand more than you think. You should also teach her to call 911 in case she ever comes home to find you laying on the floor again.

Tell your daughter that u are ill because of intakin of a non healthy diet and encourage her in taking proprer nutritious food. Talk to her.

First I would like to say that I am sorry you are going through this. I don't know if it will help but maybe you can make a plan with her as to what she should do if that happens again, like have a neighbor or friend on standby that she can call so she is not alone. Include her in making the plan, let her come up with some ideas. By involving her maybe she will feel more comfortable with the situation. Next, can you eat the liquid nutrition drinks. I'm not sure what they are called but they are similar to kid's pediasure. I worked in a health care facility and there were patients that could not eat solid food so they had special drinks that provided them with the nutrients they needed. Good luck to you.

homeopatic doctor it's a good solution for me too.

it is very natural for a child to react like this is when they find that their mother is not keeping well. but you have to provide her with enough reassurance that your illness is not grave and you won't pass away because of your illness. to remove the insecurity that has built up in the child's mind you will have to devote a bit more of your time and explain how things in a way that IE easy for a child to comprehend. I know it won't be easy to specially because you're going through a very weird kind of illness, but still you have to make sure and take that extra effort to lead the child feel safe. hopes that your actual problem was discovered soon and you get well with proper treatment

I AM FEELING VERY SORRY FOR YOUR SITUATION. PLEASE TAKE CARE AND I WISH YOU AN EARLY RECOVERY OF HEALTH.

Fainting occurs when the blood supply to your brain is momentarily inadequate, causing you to lose consciousness. This loss of consciousness is usually brief. Fainting can have no medical significance, or the cause can be a serious disorder. Therefore, treat loss of consciousness as a medical emergency until the signs and symptoms are relieved and the cause is known. If you feel faint: Lie down or sit down. If you sit down, place your head between your knees. Discuss recurrent fainting spells with your doctor.

solution to all the problems is talk. just talk to her nicely and tell her that you are perfectly fine, the action was cause by a little frustration of work you got tired and felt down on the floor.. tell her everything is going to be fine don't worry. mommy is going through some ruitine tests.

I do think that you need to share with your daughter calmly the basics of what is going on with you. She is quite old enough to understand and the knowledge that you have shared grown-up things with her will make her feel very grown-up herself. The worry that she has NOT knowing about you is far more damaging than the fear you might have that most of the knowledge will go over her head and confuse her. I don't think it will. My advice is to involve her in your plan for food intake and in what the doctors are saying almost as if she were an adult. I think you will be surprised how responsible and caring she can be, even at that tender age. The important thing is to show that you are on the whole calm and organised and that she should be too. By knowing and understanding something of your problems, she will become a wonderful help and support to you and if you outline a plan of what she needs to do if she finds you unconscious again, she will be greatly reassured.

I agree with Brendalee. Have a plan, that will let your daughter feel more in control. Another suggestion--instead of the Ensure, which is non dairy based, try Instant Breakfast, or something similar, made with lowfat milk, since you no longer have your gallbladder. Both my neices and my sister have had their gallbladders removed and continue to have similar problems with digestion. The reason I suggest an instant breakfast is because my husband became unable to eat when he was ill with Lou Gehrigs disease. He did instant breakfast at home, but when he went to a nursing home they tried the Ensure because that was what they gave the elderly. For him it gave him lots of gas an loose stools. Have you been tested for food allergies? Crohn's disease, Celiac? Yogurt cultures in pill or in the yogurt itself is very helpful for the intestines. You do not have to buy the newest one targeted for that (Activie) any fresh yogurt will do. All our best to you. Keep us posted.

have you every asked the help of God in your situation? We can give only what we have. I, too, had been experiencing a lot of trials in my life but you know, what keeps me going is my faith in the Lord Jesus. His help is always in time and we never lack in our needs. Try to read Psalm 23, it's our family creed, and believe in it. God bless you and your daughter.
