Thank you! My 7 year old son has this post op of neuroblastoma dissection. His started at around 3 weeks post op, was placed on octreotide & MCT oil at first then a strict NPO diet with only Portagen formula. They needed to make sure he was patched up before stem cell transplant, it took about 6-7 weeks but it worked.
My dad is having this issue after a bypass surgery. We have been looking for a second opinion what to do bc all of the doctors he is working with have not dealt with it. They keep forcing surgery after surgery but promising nothing bc they do not seem to know much of anything about it.
