Course Director’s Welcome 

  We welcome you all to the First NASPGHAN Annual Nutrition Symposium for Dietitians. I feel confident in saying that this is the first of many such symposiums as we hope to make this an annual event. We have been surprisingly and pleasantly overwhelmed at the response to this event. We have registrants from states in all corners of the US and several international attendees.  We clearly see that there is a need among pediatric dietitians for quality educational offerings and this is an initial effort at addressing that need. NASPGHAN hopes to foster this relationship with pediatric dietitians by continuing this symposium and soon by providing organizational infrastructure for pediatric dietitians. We have worked with pediatric gastroenterology nurses and their organization, The Association of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Nurses (APGNN) has been a robust affiliate of NASPGHAN for almost three decades.  We hope you enjoy this symposium. We request that you take some time to provide us your feedback at the end of the symposium as it will help us plan next year’s event and the pediatric dietitian organization. Thank you.  Sincerely,  

  Praveen S. Goday, MBBS, CNSC Associate Professor Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition Medical College of Wisconsin

Guidelines for the Diagnosis and

Management of FA in the US: NIAID-Sponsored Expert Panel Report

Working with more than 30 professional organizations,

federal agencies and patient advocacy groups led the

development of “best practice” clinical guidelines based

on comprehensive review and objective evaluation of

the recent scientific and clinical literature on FA.

Boyce JA, Assa'ad A, Burks AW, et al. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergy in the united states:

Report of the NIAID-sponsored expert panel. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010; 126 (6): S1-58

Definition

“An adverse health effect arising from a

specific immune response that occurs

reproducibly on exposure to a given food.”

Report of the NIAID-sponsored expert panel. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2010; 126 (6): S1-58

Adverse Food Reactions

Toxic / Pharmacologic Non-Toxic / Intolerance

Bacterial food poisoning

Heavy metal poisoning

Scombroid fish poisoning

Caffeine

Non-immunologic

Lactase deficiency

Galactosemia

Pancreatic insufficiency

Gallbladder / liver disease

Gustatory rhinitis

Symptoms of Food Allergy

Anaphylaxis

An IgE mediated allergic reaction that is rapid in onset

(minutes to several hours after contact with an allergy

causing substance) and may cause death.

Food allergy is #1 cause of anaphylaxis in the ED

Any food can be responsible but highest risk: peanut, tree nut, seafood

cow’s milk and egg in young children

Eosinophilic

esophagitis

Eosinophilic

gastritis

Eosinophilic

gastroenteritis

Atopic dermatitis

Adverse Food Reactions

IgE-Mediated

(most common)

Non-IgE Mediated

Cell-Mediated

Immunologic

Systemic

Oral Allergy Syndrome

Immediate gastrointestinalallergy

Asthma/rhinitis

Urticaria

Morbilliform rashes andflushing

Contact urticaria

Protein-Induced

Proctocolitis

(non-IgE mediated)

Symptoms- gross or occult blood in the stools

Generally presents in first few months of life to

milk/soy formula or food proteins passed through

maternal milk

Usually resolves around by 1 year of age.

Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis

(non-IgE mediated)

FPIES is generally seen before 3 months of age

Acute- Profuse vomiting, diarrhea and lethargy beginning 1-3 hours after ingestion of offending food (usually milk or soy but other foods have been implicated including rice, oat, poultry, legumes, fruits and vegetables)

Chronic- chronic vomiting and diarrhea, FTT, hypoalbuminemia

Clinical tolerance usually develops by 3 years

Symptoms can be severe enough to cause dehydration and shock (20%)

www.iaffpe.org

FPIES Nutritional Risk

Poor growth at presentation

Negative infant experience with foods,

reinforcing poor intake

Long-term/multiple food elimination diets

Solid-food FPIES resulting in delayed

introduction of foods

Poor feeding skill acquisition and nutrient intake

10

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

(mixed IgE and non-IgE)

Chronic, immune/antigen-mediated esophageal

disease characterized by

Clinically: symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction

Histologically: eosinophil-predominant inflammation

www.apfed.org

Liacouras et al, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2011

EoE Nutritional Risks

Clinical symptoms: Nausea/vomiting, Regurgitation, Chest pain,

Feeding difficulties and food refusal, Delayed growth, Early satiety,

Abdominal pain, Dysphagia with solid foods more common in

adolescents and adult

Poor dietary intake due to persistent symptoms

Poor growth despite adequate intake

Multiple food elimination diets for extended

periods of time

Poor compliance with elimination diet

Disorders Not Proven to be

Related to Food Allergy

Migraines

Behavioral / Developmental disorders

Arthritis

Seizures

Inflammatory bowel disease

11

Epidemiology

Self-perceived adverse reaction rates exceed rates based on OFC

Studies suggest a cumulative prevalence of 3% to 6% in children

The inclusion of mild reactions to fruits and vegetables could

result in calculation of prevalence exceeding 10% in some

regions.

There are data from numerous studies to suggest an increase in

prevalence.

Prevalence varies by age, geographic location, and possibly

race/ethnicity.

Many childhood food allergies resolve.

Goal of Dietary Management

To prevent acute and chronic food allergicreactions, while maintaining appropriatenutrition for growth and development.

Dietitian’s FocusEffective avoidance Daily Living with FA Nutritional adequacy

Label Reading

Read the entire product labeleach and every time an item is purchased.

12

Label Reading

Food Allergen Labeling Consumer

Protection Act (FALCPA) Milk Egg Wheat Soy Peanut Tree nut* Fish* Crustacean shellfish*

*Specific species must be listed

Incidental Ingredients

A “major food allergen” may not be omittedfrom the product label even if it is only aminor ingredient

Allergens not considered “major” may remainunidentified on product labels

Cross-Contact

Cross contact occurs when safe foods comein contact with an allergen, causing the safefood to contain small amounts ofunintentional allergenic ingredients.

13

Cross contact

Precautionary labeling such as May contain… Manufactured in a facility… Manufactured on shared equipment…

Voluntary and unregulated

Food Allergy Guidelines

The expert panel suggests

avoiding any product that

has an advisory statement

for your allergen.

There is no evidence that

strict avoidance has any

impact on the rate of

natural remission to a

specific food allergen

Indication of Increased Nutritional Risk

Signs or symptoms of nutritional deficiencies (e.g., poor growth, iron

deficiency anemia)

Greater number or nutritional value of eliminated foods

Greater reliance on or dietary intake of food(s) to be eliminated

Picky or self-selective eater

Delayed introduction of solid complementary foods

Poor variety or volume of foods provided/accepted

Feeding delay/difficulties

Unwillingness of child to ingest supplemental formula or enriched beverage

Environmental or psychosocial factors limiting ability to provide nutritionally

complete diet

Medical or psychological diagnosis affecting dietary intake

Is poor growth strictly a

nutritional issue?

Cross sectional study comparing children with food

allergies (n=96) who had been counseled by a dietitian

to paired controls without food allergies (n=95).

Children with food allergies had weights and heights

within the normal range; however, they were smaller for

their age than the non-allergic controls, even when they

received similar nutrition.

Wheat Avoidance

4 servings of enriched and whole grains provides 50%

of the RDA for CHO, iron, thiamin, riboflavin and

niacin for children>1 yr and also a significant source of

B6 and manganese and Folate.

Alternative Grains

Rice Corn Oat Rye Barley Buckwheat Amaranth Quinoa Millet

Homologous Grain Proteins

20% of those with wheat allergy may beclinically reactive to another grain.

*Use of alternative grains should be

individualized and based on tolerance as

determined by the allergist.

Sicherer SH. Clinical implications of cross-reactive food allergens. JACI 2001 Dec;108(6):881-90.

Differences in management of wheat

allergy and Celiac Disease

Celiac- Autoimmune disorder caused by gluten sensitivity

Strict, lifelong avoidance of wheat, rye and barley

All non-gluten grains allowed: Amaranth, arrowroot,buckwheat, corn, legume flours, millet, Montina, nutflours, rice, potato flours or starch, sorghum ,tapioca,teff, quinoa

Pure uncontaminated oats- most organizations allowmoderate amounts of gluten free oats

19

Egg/Soy/Peanut

Generally, does not have as great a nutritionalimpact

Greater concern if MFA or if dietary patterns(vegetarian) or nutritional cofactors

Summary

Food allergies are a serious public health concern now

estimated to affect more than 12 million Americans.

The cornerstone of food allergy management is

avoidance of the identified allergen.

Allergen elimination diets can significantly affect quality

of life and are not without nutritional risk.

Patients require expert guidance to learn how to

identify their allergen(s) in our vast food supply and

meet their nutritional needs within the context of the

elimination diet.

Whatisafeedingdisorder?

OverviewofFeedingDisorders

• Children who lack sufficient volume or variety for adequatenutrition

• Past estimates between 35‐45% of children• Feeding problems tend to resolve over time• Severe extension of typical development• 5‐10% of general population• 30% ‐ 80% of children w/ disabling conditions• Limited evidence that feeding disorders may evolve intoeating disorders in adulthood 

FeedingProblemsTheoreticalEtiologies

• Medical or physical disorders • Developmental disability• Sensory• Social• Environmental

• Etiology is usually multidimensional

MedicalEtiology• Physicians diagnosis and monitor the well‐being of the child• Provide treatment for various physiological factors • Ongoing Medical support provided • Common tasks 

• Medical evaluation• Managing conditions• Coordination of care

Etiology‐ Developmental

• Dependent on motor, emotional, and social 

• Early infancy (1‐4 mo) Breast milk & formula

• Later infancy (4‐6 mo) semisolids

• Second half of 1st year finger foods/soft foods

• After 12 months similar food as family

23

Etiology– Developmental• When should a family be advised to deviate from medicaladvice regarding age of introduction?

• Is there a mismatch between chronological age and ability? • May require a thorough developmental evaluation 

• New data are emerging which show that experience and development interact and may contribute to variability in feeding development (Delaney et al.) 

Etiology‐ Sensory• Frequently considered a contributing factor (Morris & Klein, 1987) 

• Assumed to be related to sensory processing problems, caused by neurological functioning (Walter, 1994)

• Little research has been conducted with feeding‐disordered patients 

• Unclear if “sensory techniques” utilize well‐validated behavioral methods (Fishbein et al., 2006; Gibbons, Williams, & Riegel, 2007). 

• Recent data show that sensory etiology is likely over reported due to etiology confusion (Silverman et al.)

Etiology‐Social

• Feeding is dependent upon shared feeding responsibilities between caregiver and child 

• Focus should be on children acquiring positive eating attitudes and behaviors, rather than on the amount of food consumed 

• This facilitates child’s ability to attend to cues of hunger and satiety 

Satter, 1999_

24

Etiology‐Environmental

• Different parenting practices• Caregiver physical and mental health problems• Family financial difficulties• Caregiver knowledge of medical and nutritional conditions• Cultural expectations for feeding and development

• These variables have not been systematically studied but warrant close attention during treatment of children with feeding problems! 

Parent‐ChildDisruptions

Parent‐child relationship• Neonatal experiences: touch needs, bonding, conditioning(bidirectional)

• Preferred activity immediately after meals may also result in disrupted meals if not used as a contingent reward

ScheduleofIntakeFrequency of Meals• 3‐4 hours between meals appears optimal for appetite

Schedule Interventions• Offering meals and snacks on a consistent schedule from day to day and limiting intake between planned eating occasions

Duration of Meals • Mealtimes for children last between 10‐25 minutes • up to 45 minutes for children with physical impairments

28

Psychologist

• Provide a behavioral perspective on feeding disorders

• Assess for co‐morbid behavioral or psychiatric conditions

• Assess for psychosocial/psychiatric issues in the family

• Intervene or facilitate referrals

• Educate and collaborate with other team disciplines

FeedingIntervention• Considerable evidence supports behavioral approaches 

(Kerwin, 1999; Babbitt et al., 1994; Palmer, Thompson, & Linscheid, 1975)

• Behavioral strategies are common in outpatient, day treatment, and inpatient care settings

• Treatment goals typically consist of • Decreasing behavioral problems at meals; • Decreasing parent stress at meals; • Increasing pleasurable parent‐child interactions atmeals; 

• Increasing oral intake or variety of oral intake; • Advancing texture • Increasing the structure and routine of meals 

(Fischer & Silverman, 2007)

BehavioralTreatment:HowToDoIt!Identify the targeted behavior for change

1. Select techniques to increase or decrease behaviors2. Develop contingencies (positive or negative) to pair with the 

targeted behavior

Strategies to increase positive behaviors 1. Positive and negative reinforcement2. Discrimination training 

Strategies to reduce negative behaviors1. Extinction2. Satiation3. Punishment4. Desensitization

Behavioral strategies are used in combination to create the strongest treatment effects in the shortest period of time 

29

PositiveReinforcementDelivery of a desired stimulus (e.g., praise, stickers, points toward a reward, preferred food), contingent on performance of a target behavior (e.g., taking a sip of milk, taking 3 bites of a new vegetable), that strengthens the probability that the target behavior will occur in the future. 

Steps for Use

1. Identify the targeted behavior for change2. Select techniques to increase behaviors congruent with 

feeding goals3. Develop a treatment plan that consistently pairs a positive

contingency with the targeted behavior

PositiveReinforcement

NegativeReinforcementInvolves terminating or withholding an aversive stimulus contingent on performance of a desired behavior, with the result that it strengthens the probability that the desired behavior will occur in the future. 

Steps for Use1. Identify the targeted behavior for change2. Select techniques to decrease behaviors incongruent with 

feeding goals3. Develop a treatment plan that consistently pairs a negative 

contingency with the targeted behavior

30

NegativeReinforcement

DiscriminationandModelingIncreased likelihood of an appropriate feeding behavior in the presence of observing the behavior. 

Steps for Use

1. Identify the targeted behavior for change2. Select behaviors to demonstrate which will increase 

behaviors congruent with feeding goals3. Develop a treatment plan that consistently provides 

opportunities for discrimination training to occur

Modeling

31

ExtinctionSystematically discontinuing a reward following a response decreases the future probability of the response occurring. The most common example of extinction in behavioral feeding programs is to ignore undesired child behaviors such as refusals or tantrums. 

Steps for Use1. Identify the targeted behavior for change2. Select techniques to increase or decrease behaviors

congruent with feeding goals3. Develop a treatment plan that consistently pairs a 

contingency (positive or negative) with the targeted behavior

Extinction

PunishmentAn aversive stimulus or removal of a reward contingent on undesired behavior to weaken the probably that the response will occur (e.g., Timeout). 

Steps for Use1. Identify the targeted behavior for change2. Select techniques to decrease behaviors incongruent with 

feeding goals3. Develop a treatment plan that consistently pairs a negative 

contingency with the targeted behavior

32

ExtinctionBasedProcedures• Non‐removal of the spoon with representation forexpels• Persistence of the bite on a spoon at the upper part of child’s lip until the child accepts the bite. 

• Coe et al., 1997

• Jaw Prompt or Physical Guidance with representation for expels• Applying gentle pressure at the mandibular joint while holding the spoon to the child’s upper lip.

• Ahearn, Kerwin, Eicher, Shantz, & Swearingin 1996

Desensitization

33

StimulusFading• A systematic change in the environment, in the case of feeding disorders, often the food.

• Stimulus fading has been used a component of many treatments for feeding disorders

• May be able to serve as an alternative to more restrictive procedures

Spoontocupfading

TextureFading• Many children have difficulty transitioning to table foods• In some cases this is due to oral motor dysfunction, in other case learned aversions

• Texture fading can be used to help make this transition.• Again, this procedure can minimize children’s distress and inappropriate behaviors

34

ExampleofTextureFading• Fading from pureed to junior food would involve the followingsteps:

• Start with 100% pureed.• In step one, offer 75% pureed and 25% junior.• In step two, offer 50% pureed and 50% junior.• In step three, offer 25% pureed and 75% junior.• Finally, in step four, offer 100% junior.

Spoontocupfading• Used with a child with adipsia• Child would eat a variety of food from a spoon but dependentupon tube feedings 2◦ to refusal to drink.

• The use of spoon to cup fading allowed a child to learn todrink without the use of extinction‐based procedures and with minimal inappropriate behaviors.

Simultaneouspresentation• Placing a tiny amount of novel food on a piece of preferred food, e.g.. placing cheese or lunchmeat on crackers

• Placing a small amount of novel food behind a bite of preferred food on the same utensil, e.g.. placing a bit of hotdog behind vanilla pudding

Fluidfading• For a child with ASD and constipation, prune juice was faded into soda, one more drop with each serving.

• We commonly fade supplements into milk, soy milk, or juice.Typically, each change is 5 cc or less.

• To reduce bottle dependence at bedtime, we alsosystematically replace milk with water in the bedtime bottle

42

Blendingfoods• For a child who ate applesauce, 1 tsp of other ground fruits and vegetables replaced 1 tsp of applesauce. This fading schedule was continued after 3 meals with low rates of inappropriate behavior. 

• Flavor‐flavor conditioning is probably a factor when novelfoods are mixed with preferred foods.

Usingvarietyasanantecedentmanipulation

• In numerous studies with adults, increased variety has been shown to delay satiety.

• For example, when groups were offered either their favorite flavor of ice cream only or a wide range of flavors, the wide variety group ate more ice cream

• We have offered children wider varieties at meals toincrease overall intake.

Clinical Relevance of Diet and IBD

• CCFA maintains an informatiom Resource Center that receives more than 14,000 inquiries per year, of which, approximately 65% ask for dietary advice

• Patients desire therapies that do not suppress theimmune system

• Diet and the gut microbiota are the two biggest environmental factors to which the gut is exposed

48

Diet is associated with new onset IBD

• High dietary intakes of total fats, PUFAs, omega‐6 and meat were associated with an increased risk ofCD and UC

• High fiber and fruit intakes were associated withdecreased CD risk

• High vegetable intake was associated with decreasedUC risk.

Restrictions

• Generally avoid:– Nuts (whole)– Large seeds (pumpkin, sunflower)– Popcorn

• Your doctor may tell you to temporarily avoid:– Lactose‐ usually with new onset disease– High residue foods: usually with moderate to severe active disease or larger intestinal strictures

What can I eat?

• There is no “IBD” diet

• Nutritional needs depend on:– Age; Gender; Exercise level; Disease activity

• No foods will cause a flare, but certain foodsmay make symptoms worse

• Rule of thumb: If it bothers you, don’t eat it!

Parenteral Nutrition Shortages

Date: Oct 12, 2013

Carmyn Zoller, RD, LDN, CSP, CNSC Jason Orr, Pharm.D.

Disclosures• In the past 12 months, I have had no relevant financial

relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in this CME activity.

2

Objectives• Understand Recent Parenteral Nutrition Shortages

– Identify why drug shortages occur. • Know alternatives available for some of the parenteral

elements that have been in short supply– Describe the impact on hospitals. – Discuss the real impact on our patients.

• Be able to better manage some common shortages

3

75

Drug Shortage Causes• Unavailability of raw materials:

– Chemical or products• Manufacturer decisions, merger, acquisitions• Regulatory issues:

– Non compliance of lab equipment monitoring (FDA shuts down production)

– Noncompliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices• Unexpected demand:

– H1N1 pandemic– One company decides a particular product is not profitable Other

companies cannot keep up with increased demand. • Natural disasters:

– Hurricane Sandy • Labor disruptions

4

Drug Shortages• Extensive operational and clinical workload on Pharmacy.

5

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Why should you be involved?• December 2012, CDC announces 3 cases of zinc deficiency

dermatitis in extremely premature infants at Children’s National Medical Center after zinc supply had been exhausted in November 2012.

6Photograph taken from CDC, http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6207a5.htm

76

Suggestions• Central Source: Have someone in your hospital (usually

Pharmacy) compose a list of current drug shortages. • Restrictions: Restrict short supply medications in advance

before supply is exhausted for those patients who critically need them.

• Education/Communication: It is vital that hospital staffare aware of current shortages.

• Networking: Create a group of local hospitals to discusscurrent drug shortages and alternatives.

• Importation: Urge the FDA to allow for importation ofcritical medications.

7

Recent Shortages• Lipids

– Reconfiguring• Providing more bag size options to minimize waste

– Conservation• Holding when able• Providing only enough to meet essential fat needs• Prioritizing

8

Recent Shortages• Vitamins and Trace Elements

– Providing enteral to those who can tolerate/absorb– Holding when able– Alternatives– Alternating days that patients receive – Providing individual components as available – Outpatient infusions

• Electrolytes

9

77

Discussion Questions• What are some of the current TPN shortages that you’ve seen

in your facilities?

• What creative solutions have you implemented to managethese shortages?

*Fluid intake*Current vitamin, mineral, herbal supplements

80

Calculating Nutritional Goals• Calorie and protein goals based on currentintake, current nutritional status, activity level

• Fluid Goals

• Decide on Formula ComponentsBased on allergies, previous tolerance, calorie goals

• Family goals for feeding schedule

?Partial bolus & drip feeding or all bolus feedings?Time off feeds for medical appointments/therapies

Selection of formula components• Choose protein source:  Casein/whey, soy,meat protein, or elemental formula‐can use small amount of formula as base, or all foods.

• Select fruits /vegetables: if known, use itemsto which the child has previous exposure. Include vitamin A & C containing items

• Select grain: baby rice/oatmeal/barley easiest‐used for calories/fiber/thickening agent

Calculation Of Blended Tube Feeding• Use of The Food Processor Program (ESHA Research) to

determine the composition of diet.• Special consideration to percentages of protein, fat, and

carbohydrates.

81

Formula Components

• Select fat source: canola oil, olive oil• Select additional calorie/carb sources:polycose, duocal, sugar, cornstarch

Next step:  Complete vitamin/mineral analysis

Vitamin/ Mineral Supplementation

Vitamins/Minerals

• Addition of a children’s chewable “Complete”multivitamin, multimineral.

• Addition of calcium if needed…may not needif using some commercial formula, milk,oryogurt

• Addition of sodium if needed.

82

Fluid Goals• Calculation of percentage of free water informula

• Calculation of water needed for medicationsand tube flushes

• Remainder to be divided into water boluses orcontinuous night feeds

Hospital Policies for Preparation and Adminstration of Blended

PBGT (Pureed By Gastrostomy Tube)Diet: What is it and why do we use it?

• Use of blended foods and liquids given asbolus feedings in Gastrostomy Tubes forchildren experiencing gagging and retchingpost Nissen Fundoplication

• Helps “normalize” feeding regimen for familyusing infant strained foods by eliminatingneed for continuous, lengthy feedings.

83

Goals of PBGT Diet

• Decrease/eliminate gagging and retching• Decrease frequency of feedings and/ortransition off drip feedings

• Meet nutrient and fluid goals• Improve weight gain, growth, and nutritionalstatus

• Encourage opportunity for oral intake

Typical patients benefiting from PBGT

• Children experiencing episodes ofgagging/retching episodes afterfundoplication

• Children who are volume sensitive and do nottolerate large boluses or rapid rates of feeds

• Children with multiple food allergies• Children with families who prefer traditionalfoods vs. commercial formulas

Goals of Pureed By Gtube Diet1. Decrease/Eliminate gagging and retching

In 2007 our retrospective study* of 43 children (ages ranging from 9 months to 9 years) showed that in children receiving a PBGT diet ,76.8 % of these children had  a 51‐100 % reduction in episodes of retching 

and gagging.

Encourage Opportunity for IntakeIn the same retrospective study in 2007, we found via parental report that 56 % of the children had improved oral intake.

Preparation• Family education on preparation, food safety• Mix ingredients in wide‐mouth container withscrew cap

• Draw up in 60 ml syringes• Mixture needs to be thick, have to use syringeplunger and give it some pressure

• Any remainder of batch to be discarded after24 hours

Monitoring• Multiple phone calls for advancement• Clinic follow‐up monitoring growthparameters and adjusting recipe as needed.

• Nutritional labs to determine adequacy of thediet

• Hopeful for increased interest in oral feedsand significantly reduce episodes of retchingand gagging

Functional Abdominal Pain

• Introduction

Role of Diet in Functional Abdominal Pain

• Diet– Several changes occur and stimulate the GI tract

• Motility– Stomach– Gallbladder

• Neurohormonal• Biofeedback mechanisms (e.g. ileal brake)• Chemoreceptors• Bacterial gas production and other end products

Diet in Functional Abdominal Pain

• Adults with Irritable Bowel Syndrome– 25‐70% perceived food intolerance– Up to 62% limited/excluded foods

• Up to 12% have inadequate diets

– Frequently identified foods• Milk, cheese• Cabbage, Onions• Chocolate• Coffee, Alcohol

InitiationofEnteralNutrition?• Why?  Medical conditions that result in inadequate nutrition taken orally

• Nutrition assessment is a key first step to establish goals• Every child presents with their own individual needs• Maximize oral intake as medically safe• Patient/Family Education is Key

G‐tubePlacement:Patient/FamilyEducation• Customize the feeding plan for the child• Ask the family if the recommendations will work• Feeding schedule options

• Discuss with family how it will fit into their life• Type of formula and why• Type of feeding (bolus by gravity, bolus by syringe, drip, etc)• Expectations for frequency of follow‐up• Review growth goals for the child

DevelopmentalConsiderations• When should a family be advised to deviate from medicaladvice regarding age of introduction?

• Is there a mismatch between chronological age and ability? • May require a thorough developmental evaluation 

• New data are emerging which show that experience and development interact and may contribute to variability in feeding development (Delaney et al.)

FoodAllergy?18‐Month Old with Diffuse Rash

18‐montholdwithdiffuserash• An 18 month‐old male • Hospitalized for evaluation of…

• diffuse rash• failure to gain weight• diffuse edema• Irritability

• Developmental milestones were acquired at the expected time and in the expected order but had reached a plateau over the preceding several months 

98

18‐montholdwithdiffuserash• Physical examination

• underweight (11%ile weight‐for‐height) and profoundlyedematous

• Had a diffuse, blanching, and desquamating dermatitis thatspared only his face and genital area

• Laboratory studies were remarkable for…• iron‐deficiency anemia• hypoproteinemia in the absence of proteinuria• Hyponatremia• mildly increased ALT• deficiency of zinc and selenium

RelevantHistory• Early feeding history included breast feedings which were transitioned to cow’s milk formula at 7 months of age.

• Secondary to presumed dietary intolerances, picky eating, and poor intake, he was started on rice milk at the age of 12 months. 

• Over several months his intake of rice milk increased and eventually constituted 75% of his calories.

• Community therapy services were initiated includingoccupational therapy for sensory integration therapy and speech and language therapy for feeding problems and language disorder, but his condition continued to worsen

99

Diagnosis?• PEM, also known as kwashiorkor, is relatively rare in developed countries and occurs in the setting of food faddism or dietary misinformation

• PEM is a systemic illness that affects most organ systems and explains our patient’s constellation of symptoms(Fechner etal., 2001).

• The nutritional composition of rice milk makes it an inadequate primary source of nutrition for infants and young toddlers as it places these at risk for PEM and other nutritionaldeficiencies.

• Once hospitalized, a diagnosis of protein‐energy malnutrition (PEM) was made and careful nutritional rehabilitation was started.

MedicalTreatment?• Hospitalized for nutritional rehabilitation and monitoring ‐parenteral and nasogastric feeding.

• A skin biopsy failed to identify any other infectious or inflammatory process.  Food allergy testing was negative.

• After 17 days, he was discharged to the outpatient setting nutritionally rehabilitated.

• Nasogastric feedings continued as he worked to expand the range and volume of foods consumed to developmentallyappropriate levels.

TeamTreatmentTreatment recommendations included Medical Nutrition  Behavioral1. creation of mealtime structure and routine2. appetite manipulation to promote motivation to feed during 

meals3. contingency management training to build reinforcement 

and extinction strategies in the home environment4. shaping to gradually expand the diet5. parent training to help the family maintain treatment effects

LastSteps• Nine months after hospitalization, the patient had a significantincrease in the range and volume of foods consumed with a corresponding decrease in disruptive behaviors

• Age appropriate feeding habits were not achieved• Tonsillar hypertrophy was noted and he underwenttonsillectomy resulting in further gains approximating feeding abilities similar to same age peers

• Seventeen months after his hospitalization, he accepted mostfood offered to him and was discharged form outpatientmanagement

LivingwithaFeedingTube

• Comfort

• Portability

• Maximizing participation in socialinteractions

101

Portability

• Bolus feedings most convenient

• Drip feedings can be inconspicuous

• Backpacks• Fanny packs• Fishing vests

SchoolIssues

• Schools need simple, efficient feeding plans

• Home care nurses can train school personnelwhen there is no school nurse

• Tube feedings on a school bus are impractical unless a nurse present (rare)
