When John started using the tube, the main concern of the dietitian and the RO was whether he could tolerate it and John isn't lactose intolerant. So, I guess there are people who can't take some of the formulae. It is really important, though, for you to keep an eye on your weight and that you are taking in the essential nutrients. Do you have access to a dietitian at your hospital?
