Treatment

Hi,

You are doing this perfectly. I feed & medicate my mum through her PEG tube, for over 3 months now. Can I ask what food you are taking?

Regards,

Graeme.

Hi Graeme 

I'm able to eat. I'm lucky. I'm unable to swallow tablets as a long term issue. When the tablets are dissolved the liquid makes me feel so ill. 

I have got a masticating juicer which I use a lot  and intend on using more so if eating becomes difficult.

This is a crap disease. Xx

Hi Luu77,

I was absolutely sure I'd sent another reply for you. 

I had another idea that may help.

If you like or can tolerate ginger beer, put some in a jug so it goes flat, totally flat.

Before putting these horrible tablets through the PEG tube, use a large syringe & put a couple of ginger beers through the PEG. Or even drink a glass. Try to have at least 200ml of the ginger beer. Then wait for 15 minutes & put the tablets through the PEG.

Ginger in any form is great at combatting sickness. IT HAS TO BE FLAT, NO FIZZ, because fizzy can damage the tube & the retaining balloon. 

Give it a try, it could be your answer.

Now, where did my last message go, I remember quoting " crap disease".

Best wishes,

Graeme.
