The feeding tube formula that has been provided (we've tried many different formulas) is causing my grandmother's health decline. :sad: I sometimes give her real food and have been for the last week with great results. :razz: She was no longer constipated and feels so much better without the formula.
But yesterday some medication got stuck in the tube and we had to go get it replaced. :shock:
The doctor at the hospital says to "never put real food down the tube, only use formula."
But anytime she gets the formula, she feels horrible and it hurts me to see her this way and I know that she feels better with real food.
I need to find a doctor in the Southern California area who would tell my grandmother that it's okay to put real blenderized meals down the tube.
Anyone use real food or have a doctor who recommends real food?
