I currently feed mom through a G tube with bolis feedings. We have gotten to the place where she has heartburn for hours with every feeding. Needless to say she does not want to be fed and some days she is only getting 2 cans of supplement. She takes 2-40mg of nexium each day and takes regland. I have tried many things but have found nothing that helps. Is anyone familiar with the g tube with pump feedings. Can you tell me how it works and if this would end the heart burn? Does it take a different tube? How does it hook up? How many hours of feedings is usually envolved. Is the pump big, small, electric, battery? Can you go back to bolis feeds if it doesn't help? How do your do meds? I appreciate any info I can get to help in deciding what to do?
