My mother, aged 92, wasn't eating much for a week, and was also constipated that long as well.
She was admitted to the hospital and given dextrose IV. The doctor gave her a food that can be administered intravenously, called Kabiven Peripheral. I was wary of it, but couldn't argue against its use, and so for 3 days my mom was taking in the product as food.
She started to have chills and fever on the third day, and doctors gave her antibiotics. But I looked at the contraindications or side-effects of the Kabiven product, and sure enough chills and fever were listed as two of its side-effects.
This product was given FDA approval on 2014, so it is a very new product. The ingredient list included soya oil, dextrose anhydrous, and a smattering of amino acids. I was sure the soya oil was bad, but I kept my fingers crossed.
Now, after being discharged from the hospital without full resolution of her health, my mom is struggling more. She isn't eating as much still, and is now also refusing liquids and pills. This is troubling, as I couldn't even give supplements to counter the harsh effects of taking Kabiven as well as the harsh antibiotics given during her stay. I couldn't give her probiotics to restore her gut flora for boosting her immunity, and couldn't even give her d-mannose to help manage her chronic UTI (arising from her need to use diapers to deal with her incontinence).
She came back home from the hospital in worse shape than she went in. I believe the soya oil injected directly into her bloodstream blocked her assimilation of blood sugar, and this produced an insulin reaction that lowered her blood sugar, and this caused her to have chills. The fever was a result of the lower immunity caused by low blood sugar, as well as from the inflammatory effects of the soya oil.
Given her condition as I had described, I hope to get some guidance on how to help my mom recover. She has not lost her ability to chew and to eat. She just needs to get her mood and appetite back.
I've made sure we are PUFA-free at home and my mom doesn't eat any food at home that has PUFA. Except for occasional cakes and pastries and eating out at restaurants, which isn't that often, her body is accustomed to not having soya oil and its ilk.
I don't plan on bringing back my mom to the hospital. I'm trying to set up an arrangement with a doctor who can set her up on dextrose IV at home. It's scary what meds the hospital doctors put patients up to. They never tell you the side-effects, and when the side effects occur, they pretend it's something else. You learn later on from another specialist about the side effect. But the prescribing doctor never admits that his prescribed med has a side effect. That how the wheel turns at our hospitals. It's the "system."
I can't imagine the choice of soya oil as "food" to be directly injected into our blood. Doesn't the oil get processed by bile and then get converted into chylomicrons and then goes into our lympathic system before it gets into our blood stream? So how in the hell could oil be directly injected into our blood without going through the lympathic system, and still not cause harm?
