    Albuterol question

    I normally take Albuterol/Atrovent nebs every six hours. When I am sick, I do my treatments every four hours. I hope Emily feels better soon!

    G/J Tube and tummy issues

    I was on G/J tube feedings up until three months ago for quite some time. You may need to slow down the rate of your feedings. Going over 100cc per hour is not recommend with jejunal feedings. I do not know how fast your feedings are. I used to adjust my rate up and down all the time. I now have...

    g-tube feels "pumpy"

    g-tube feels I have had that "sucked in" feeling as well. I sometimes find flushing the tube helps. Of course, this "sucked in" feeling usually happens when I am not home. I asked my GI about this. He said it is very common with the Mic-Key button. I get it whether I have eaten or not.

    G-Tube solved

    Hi The Lost Miller, Have you ever tried Tea Tree Oil around the granulation tissue? It really helps reduce the reduction of this tissue. I would run this by a doctor first. Creams high in zinc oxide seem to help the site heal as well. It took my site about six months to completely heal. Hang in...

    G-tubes

    shortcody23, I am sorry you are having issues with your TPN, As you already know, it can be quite harsh on the liver. If you have a stomach emptying problem like Gastroparesis, a g tube is not well tolerated except for using one to decompress your stomach. I know from personal experience. You...

    Eating during treatments

    I use my vest while eating quite often. I make sure I do not eat something with bones or a food that requires a lot of chewing. I also slow down the speed of the machine until after I am done. I never thought to ask my doctor if this practice was dangerous or not.
