I wish I would have seen the post from Mary earlier, he got so sick from being constipated, it seems so strange that the docs and nurses dont think about that until it is too late. Our last two nights in the hospital were pretty tough, Erik even started vomiting, which as you all know is very dangerous due to the aspiration factor. I have a question to all of you with PEGs did you get very nauseous when they started food. Erik cant tolerate even 15 ML in his stomach through the tube, if nausea is normal, does it work itself out? He is already down 26 lbs.
