[quote=Anonymous]I found the approach and docs at Children's really not that helpful and offered nothing new that I wasnt doing already. But please don't go with KKI. Their approach to feeding is barbaric and their GI's are very old school. Please call one of the GI docs at Georgetown. You can usually be seen pretty quickly. Having said that, my kid sounds a lot like yours. He had his G-tube put in at 18 months, and within about 2 months, he was eating practically nothing by mouth. Now, a year later, we're struggling to get him to eat again, even if little bits. Also, for a lot of kids, a g-tube will increase vomiting, which we see a fair amount of. I'm glad our child got the tube because of the amazing difference we saw in our child with adequate nutrition, but it certainly has down sides. [/quote]
