Hi my mum had a total gastrectomy for cancer which was successful about 2 years ago. Last year she developed dysphagia and couldn't tolerate anything solid by mouth and had to r "foamies" spitting foam and some retching but managageable. However she lost a lot of weight and they fitted an NJ tube which worked well for a few months. In December she decided to switch to a J tube as its permanent and since then she's been burping, retching, throwing up loads of bile and in lots of pain. Has this happened to anyone? Did anything fix it? It's absolutely awful to see this happening to her and she's had to be admitted several times. The surgeon said just focus on jej feeding and nothing by mouth for a month just water, but even still she's throwing up the bile regardless. She has some days where she's not vomiting but it's happening so frequently. Any advice would be much appreciated
She had a load of scans (barium swallow mri and ct and it's not shown anything really).
