Monday I got my PEG tube checked for placement as they thought it might be the culprit, I already had to have it redone because it was in the wrong spot. The exam confirmed it was in the right spot so that night I had my tube feeding and woke up puking it all back out.
So now I wonder if its the type of feeding that is not agreeing with me. I'm going to try just one can at a time and slower rate first, I meet with my nutritionist on friday if that doesn't seem to work.
I didn't think it was anxiety but now I think I am anxious about whether or not my tube feedings will come back up!LOL I just wanted an answer to it since I knew it was too early for side effects from rad or chemo but my body seems to always amaze me on how wrong it operates at times!LOL
Thanks for all the responses.
