Mom has always had a J/G tube and we have clogging issues so we finally changed the tube to a PEG. It's narrow though--almost narrower than the J tube, so I have 2 questions. Bottom line is I need some recs for a new formula that one uses for stomach feeding.

1) Since her food is now going directly in the stomach, can we increase the rate? The tube is really narrow--I don't know if increasing the rate would clog the tube.

2) The formula she used with the J tube was Osmolite 1.5, which I understand has partially digested foods making it easier to be absorbed through her intestines. It would seem strange to put this formula in her stomach, although her Primary said it was fine. She is complaining of stomach cramps since she has had the new tube. She also needs something with calories.

Thanks for helping. It's kind of pathetic that I know of no place to get advice but here.
