Half of the time when I open the tube flap I get a combination of air and gastric contents bubbling out. The intensity is getting worse with more spouting. Makes a mess. Is this normal? three weeks ago I switched to 90% tubefeed from about 50%, a big change. I've been searching for help and have read about burping or venting the tube. I will try that. I'm not uncomfortable. It's messy and I want to retain what I've consumed.
Second i just had my tube replaced and the medication side leaks out the top when closed! This is a medical device failure. Just venting ( punny). Any remedies for that? I Want to avoid another new tube exchange.
Thanks
