I'm on a peg tube after my stroke. i get stomach refluxes often. very unpleasant. my mouth gets filled with water. i'm regurgitating. any help?

Talk to Dr: Either have to slow flow / smaller boluses; +/- keep head 30+ degrees elevated after feeds; +/- promotility agent (like reglan, (metoclopramide) if no side effects); =/- consider revision of peg to pej, which passes tube thru stomach sphincter to jejunum, making reflux less common. Likely will need a GI consult for help if the easier options don't control it.

Jejunostomy: Have an interventional radiologist change your tube to a gastrojejunostomy. Your doctor can order this.
