My Dad got his tube in early December. We've tried both gravity and now pump feeding. He is just not comfortable. He can't get down more than 3 cans a day without being miserable. We've tried the first 1.5 calorie formula, a higher 2.0 calorie formula, and a 1.5 with lower fiber.
We are getting tons of air out of his stomach. Using a syringe, I pulled at least three 60ml tubes of air out of his stomach this morning. (He felt sick and was having problems drawing a full breath.). It's not uncommon to pull two 60ml tubes of air out of his stomach 2-3 times a day.
Any ideas?
