Tube feeding help....
My husband has an ongoing nausea issue, when doing feeding, if I bolus he tolerates about 500ml pushed in about 10 minutes but only twice a day. He stays nauseated all day. Taking 2 different meds for nausea already. Not enough nutrition. We've tried slower over night with pump and upon getting up he violently vomits.... Not good. We've tried many different formulas as well, currently using Liquid Hope. Tried gravity bag of same 500ml I've been bolusing, but half way thru he started getting nauseated again..... Slow seems to equal sick, but need more then 1400 calories/1000ml daily intake. He is almost 6 foot was almost 200lbs a year ago, now 115lbs. Any suggestions, willing to try anything!
