my daughter had a feeding tube for almost 2 years because she refused to eat. 90% of the time when she would get sick is if the food was going into her belly too fast. maybe if you try slowing down feedings and give less more often it could help. that way the body has to work less hard to try to digest what is going in. so instead of say 20 oz in 5 mins every hr try 10 oz every 10 mins every hour and a half
what could cause a person (tubefeeder) to have nausea after feeding? . my mom had a mini stroke it affected her swallowing and caused her to have to get a feeding tube inserted. she's been working with therapy to gain her swallowing reflex back she had an swallowing test done on xray it showed her substance not only going to her stomach but splashing into her lungs. she has to have the tube longer. lately she's been getting very nauseated after the feedings and had to go the the er her o2 sat was checked it was low enough to get admitted. what is going on!
