[tri-med] Re: tube feedings and seizures

Sharon. 

My son started off slow with his feedings and slowly increased.  He did ok at 
first but did reflux and we would slow it back down but we were afraid he was 
aspirating and he was.  So we ended up having a nissan(funduplication) where 
they can not throw up.  After that no problems.  When they get a g-tube it 
changes the shape of the stomach and they can then start having reflux..
