I'm spilling Ketones!!!!!!!!

Went to ER last night becuase I have not been able to keep food in my system. The doctors there had no clue what a tune-up was or even why I needed one. I been having more shortness of breath and chest pain. I had a CT of my belly taken and I knew it was going to be (normal).

CBC was normal everything was normal the only thing that was not normal was that I am spilling ketones! They looked to see how my blood sugers where (normal)

I have lost 10 pounds in as little as 3 days! the doctor did't even care. I feel dum! how could a doc not care about 10 pounds being lost here... Plus they found a lump on my ovories I sure I did't spell that right.

I have so had it! I have been malashorping for so long nothing is helping! what should I be doing? It's not normal to spill ketones! and this was not a low ketone it was medium. amost severe!!! I am soo ***what is what with people and all the medical issues I have I should not be worred about this... I don't think so!!!

Hello...I am sorry that the docs don't seem to be taking you seriously. I think it would be wise to talk to your team, nutritionist included to tweak your needs. If I am not mistaken, ketones can spill into your urine from breaking down excessive fat in your body.(Your body is breaking down fat stores because your intake isn't good..byproducts of fat are ketones..I think:confused<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> You said you have lost 10lbs in a very short period of time, so that makes sense but I am no doc. Either way I see it, please talk to your regular doctor and team. I hope that you feel better soon..Hugs Jenn

Jen is right about the breaking down fats. ER docs may not be familiar with CF terminology like "tune ups," so don't fault them for that. What test did they do to check your blood sugar? Was it a hemoglobin A1c or a simple finger stick? A hemoglobin A1c will give more information about whether you've been having problems with blood sugars over the last 3 months.

If you're not absorbing, it may be time for a fecal fat study or a change in enzymes. When you say you're unable to keep food in your system, do you mean you're vomitting, have greasy stools, or what? And for how long?
