Hi guys, I made this account for my baby since she has an ileostomy now 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 in to the hospital bc 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 adult’s perspective about high outputs and what they do to maintain they’re 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 as such a young age.
