Joined: Jul 2016 Posts: 34 | I have had a G-tube for about 6 weeks now, this is the second time for me. sleeping on my sides is not a problem (I can't sleep on my back). I do have a reflux problem but take pantaprazole for it and it does not bother me most of the time, I have found out that 3 8OZ cartons of feeding tube food is too much at one time though, I will have reflux then! I do not eat or do feeding tube 2 hours pryor to bed time and have not had to raise my bed. My speech therapist did recommend that if I did want raise my bed to put a couple 4 X 4 blocks under the front bed posts. (1) per side.
