Hi spent. Any advice welcome x the last three days in hospital on jungle juice. Now awaiting a stent and feeding tube. 

    1. I presume you mean NG tube. In hospital they normally seem to set the feed pump up for 24 hour operation. When I was at home I changed it to running high rate overnight thus allowing myself to disconnect the pump during the day and give myself complete freedom. Sipping water eases,any throat discomfort. I found it easier to cope with than I had anticipated. I have no experience of combining this with a stent and most people I have read about on this site seem to have one or the other not both. Hope things go well for you.
