A member asked:

What should i do if i have gas with a feedingtube? how long should i keep a feeding tube off a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: It would be important to know why you have a feeding tube as the excess gas might be explainable based on the indication for the tube. Oftentimes the excess gas is related to the formula used for feedings if that is what your tube is for.
