Hi guys, I made this account for my baby since she has had an ileostomy for about 2-3 months now. I have done a good job at being able to put a bag and achieve a non-leaking bag or popped bag for the most part. Anyway, the reason why I am posting this is because we recently got admitted back into the hospital because of dehydration and she's on extra fluids now. Also, she's been dumping and they want her to fast for 24 hours… (not happening). I read from adults' perspectives about high outputs and what they do to maintain their electrolytes and sodium and slow down their output, but what about babies since they are very limited on medications and what's safe to take at such a young age.
