Bob, the usual tricks to making the formula more easily tolerated is to slow down the rate, add water and benefiber. I ended up being hospitalized for a couple weeks from excessive diarrhea. Once my nutritionist slowed the rate down to 40 on my feeding pump, I was fine. All kinds of doctors and experts were baffled at my persistent diarrhea. Give your mom a few days of very slow feeding rate like 40 plus adding an extra can or 2 of water should do the trick. Then gradually up the speed every couple days until she is back to her normal pace. There are hundreds of different prescription feeding formulas on the market. Sometimes it takes a few tries before a patient gets the one that works best for them.

Another couple of pointers is to always have your mother sitting up or on an incline when she is doing a feeding. If she does her feedings overnight then make sure the head of her bed is raised and she sleeps propped up by at least 2 pillows. She should sit still for at least 30 minutes after the feeding has finished.

I hope your mom begins to feel better soon.
