A place for parents and care givers of children with Gratification Disorder

Update :)

Well … Yes, we’re back to the begginning. However, this time we understand it all a little better. The reason why we came back to square one was because somehow we let the ball drop on her bowel movements. She had not gone in six days! Yes that was six days! So of course the GD kicked up to an extreme.

But, Thank God, after two days of bowel movements (five in total) we seem to be back on track!!!! The GD had flared way way up and gotten to a level that brought us back to the begginning but once she moved ALL her bowel we had our little girl back WITHOUT any GD !!!!!!

Now we’re fine tuning all over again. GD has been present on and off for the past couple days but like I keep saying once the bowels are moved the GD dissappears until the next urge comes. She’s back on Miralax and we’re really monitoring her diet. Filling it with just the right amount of fiber and such in hopes of stopping the Miralax completely. The occupational therapist, case coordinator and nutrionist that have been working with us are all brain storming with my husband and I trying to figure out how we went from one extreme to the next so quickly.

The good news is that we’ve had some GD free days here since the last post :) and so there’s still hope that she’ll be able to continue on and enjoy her days uncontrolled by GD!!!
