My 16 yr old daughter was dx'd in the hospital w/Crohn's by contrast test.
She was put on TPN for 4 weeks and recently started the SCD intro diet. Which has gone well. She was tolerating food, her bowels were beginning to form and she was feeling well.
On day 4 of the SCD intro we were admitted to the hospital to have her PICC line removed and an NG tube placed in order to take in 80% of her calories by enternal diet.
Our plan is to do elemental diet (overnight tube feedings) at night and SCD food during the day for 6 weeks until she is able to have colonoscopy.
Last night was her first overnight feed and she work up w/a bad tummy ache and bad stool. She is on Peptamen.
My questions are:
1. Will the combination of Elemental and SCD work? Has anyone tried this?
2. Are loose stools to be expected on Elemental Diet?
Any advice?
TY!
