TPN - causes abdominal cramping

Anyone had abdominal cramping caused by TPN??

Anyone had diarrhea made worse by TPN (even without eating anything?

Thanks all.
 
Hi Hopeful

I've not had TPN, and am not able to answer your question, but I hope things are settling down. Have you tried talking to a nutritionist about the cramping and the D?

Wishing you well and hoping things have improved for you.
 
I've read that some of the TPN drinks have poor quality oil in them and that causes some cramping / etc.
My son is on Absorb Plus, it can definitely be used as a TPN, and has no oil, you add your own, he's not on TPN but uses it as a supplement (especially breakfast).
