Dose gastric motility deteriorate when using jejunul tube feeding
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slows down: You are essentially bypassing the stomach ( gastric area) and feeding right into the intestines. Thus the motility of the stomach would be less in instances in which you are feeding directly into the intestines.
