class=513570415-29022012>From the info you shared with us it sounds as if the
dilemma is a result of tube feeding, not a genetic condition in itself.
One way to look for info on this kind of topic - where the patron does not give
you a specific diagnosis - is to search for info about the original medical
situation. The son had a feeding tube in childhood (although we don't
know how long ago that was). Look for information about "feeding
tubes" and "children". </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

NetWellness (folks can search their Q & A archive or submit an anonymous
question that will be answered.) Another way to go is to use Google
Advanced and limit the domain to .edu. You'll find patient education from
academic medical centers this way. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=513570415-29022012>Most overview articles will discuss risks as well
as prognosis for coping after the tube is removed. Kids who have
tubes often have them as babies or in toddler hood so a major challenge is
to help them transition to oral feeding while at the same time learn
how to eat solid food, which they may never have tasted. I've often
seen the phrase "encouragement feeding" in regard to this process and
it involves the child learning what feeling full is like when eating
normally, i.e. not on a tube. Of course, the family should be encouraged
to ask their doctor for a referral to a licensed therapist/nutritionist who can
assist the child.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

[OPLINLIST] Childhood eating disorder...<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV

<DIV><SPAN>Okay, folks,here's a stumper for you....it certainly perplexed
me.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Had a patron in today looking for information on childhood eating
disorder....specifically a disorder that is, as the father described it, "the
I'm full button being broken". He has a young son who evidentally had
medical issues early on and was fed through a tube. As he describes it,
the child now does not know the sensation of "being full" when eating regular
food...will eat often to the point of passing out.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Of course, we had nothing here, and mostly what I have found
searching on-line are medical journals. Any wisdom as to websites or books
that are not medical textbooks that I could direct him to? </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>I am not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV), but the description of
binge eating disorder sounds closest to what he is describing. So does
anyone out there know of any books, etc. that I could direct this parent
to?</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>TIA!</SPAN></DIV>
