I called and got the bile acid results:
pre meal was 20.6 (reference <10)
post meal was 53.7 (reference <20)
I also called the specialist back and told them I wanted to see internal medicine instead of neurology. They said they had not received the results of his bile acid test yet and assumed he was being referred for his seizures.
I'm being told since he has both pancreas and liver problems right now, he needs both a low fat and a low protein food. They gave me RC Gastrointestinal low fat. I'm not a fan because it looks like corn pops to me, but they said it would help him, so I'm going with it.
So is MVD a different kind of shunt that doesn't require surgery? Is it something they find on an ultrasound? Sorry, Google is not helping me much with this. |
