Thanks for replies. Treatments were at The James at OSU Ohio. He's been having constipation and takes lactolose for that and goes about every 3 days. His stools are dark but we had them tested a few weeks ago and they said no blood. They are not what i call a normal stool. This has been one of his biggest battles.
A dr. came in and did a visual check of peg a few weeks ago which his Boost/Water/meds all go through fine. Dr. said no concern but after he can stand to swallow they will do an upper gi.
Today still mucositis, His throat is still raw, and he still has nausea. No more weight loss but no weight gain either. Still putting a lot of water thru the tube to stay hydrated.
