A member asked:
My dads bowel was punctured from a peg feeding tube? can this cause frequent painful bowel movements? no sign of infection!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's unlikely that the tube entrance (which is in the UPPER Gi tract) would interfere with the Bowel Movements (which are LOWER GI tract functions) Hope this helps! Dr Z
