NG tube question

Can having NG tube make you feel poorly?

No but dehydration can.i had no problem with mine at all. How much liquid are you taking. 

Did not have an NG...had a PEG... but we were open to all sorts of things physically and mentally... our immune system was all over the place...so yes we could be quite poorly quite often.

I would say 1 litre a day but I was never a big drinker, that's a norm for me 

Oh no  

I was told to have three litres in addition to the Fortisips. Much more than I normally would. You’re around a couple of weeks out of treatment aren’t you? 

Finished radiotherapy 2.5 weeks ago and have the tube for around 4 weeks now. Didn't have any problems with it until today. 

Not a worry... just goes with the territory unfortunately...we can deal with it...our oncology teams and GPs are tremendous... don't suffer in silence... keep at them.

You’re at the peak of your treatment and the effects of the radiation. two weeks after I finished was the worst I had ever felt. Plenty of rest and fluids.
