Here's an interesting question, I often wonder at the moment about this issue lately, where does ones feeding tube be located in their abdomen? And does organs grow larger with ones body over time? I seem be having bother lately with my feeding tube. There may be a possibility that the g-Tube may be in wrong location today due to the tube was never changed position (outside the tummy) over my lifetime. Last November I was due to have a Gastroscopy but that seemed to not materialise unfortunately. It seems my g tubes in wrong position. However as it was located in a different area altogether, in 1990, no doctor wishes to touch it . Few days now I have Gas contents coming up when I am not feeding.

My friends daughter, who has special needs, has had a placement of a NGtube and has been receiving her formula through this, in the beginning of her lower dosage of feedings everything seemed to be going well, as they upped her intake consumption she started to have heavy sweats during her feeds, face going pale didn’t look good does anyone have an answer to why this is happening ? Please share thank you 🙏
