Wow, that is a lot of cans to push through. I have been on a g tube for almost two years now and am on 24 hr feeds and know how he feels about dragging the back pack. You might ask about 2 cal or something else with a higher calorie content so he doesn't have to take as many cans. It can drop your can rate almost in half depending on what is available to you.

Glad you were able to find something to help with the pain even if it was a side affect. Will be keeping you guys in my prayers.
