Can anyone give a mom of a 4 year old some help on how I should handle the stomach flu for a severely hypo 4 year old boy. The last two times my son had the stomach flu he ended up in the hospital in a ketonic state (the last time he almost went into coma). When he gets the stomach flu it just spirals out of control. I follow what the doctors tell me but I think his body is just different. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. He also is allergic to almost all food so many things are out of the question (i.E.-pedialyte). He will not drink fruit juice or sprite or anything sweet. I kind of think giving him anything sugary really makes the situation worse. I would love to give him cheese or meat. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!
Jennifer
