I've been a care provider for many years and seena wide range of needs. However. the latest person sent into my care has a behavior I don't know if I can deal with. I'm hoping someone else in this field has encoutered such issues and can advise me in the right direction for some help. Ill warn you in advance, the issue pertaining to this individual are not pleasent, but they are real.
To make a long story short, this person will intentionally vomit their meals after they eat. This indivdual has a functioning level of a 2-3 year old child, but is an adult. So behavior modification, intervention has had no success. Basically anything that goes down, comes back. This person has to eat constantly to meet nutritional requirements. Are there any medical procedures, or other intervention methods that can be done to help the situation. I am ready to give up care for this person, as it is just too much. Any advise is appreciated.
