My mom has had her feeding tube for a few weeks now and is MISERABLE. She has nothing by mouth and is constantly nauseated from the feedings. Just when she starts feeling a little better, it's time for another feeding. We've tried 3-4 different types of formula, continuous feed (for slower times), gravity feeds, watered down, etc. She loves buttermilk (and that always used to settle her stomach) so we've tried mixing it w/formula, yesterday we starting mixing yogurt w/formula. NOTHING is working. I feel so bad for her. She said the other day, "I feel like I could do so much more, if I wasn't constantly sick to my stomach." Nurse suggested Baby Rice cereal and/or banana baby food. Any suggestions? This diagnosis is new to us, so we're trying to figure it all out very fast. Thanks,
Rhonda
