The three methods for inserting a G-tube are percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, laparoscopic technique & an open surgical procedure.

The ideal position for tube feeding is sitting up. However, if this isn't possible prop yourself, or the person you care for, up on at least two pillows to lie at an angle of 45° or greater and remain in this position during tube feeding and for up to 30-60 minutes after tube feeding - it is not safe to tube feed while lying flat.

A feeding tube is a device that's inserted into your stomach through your abdomen. It's used to supply nutrition when you have trouble eating.

Most tube feeds are not flavoured, however there are some small volume tube feeds that are flavoured. Oral nutritional supplements, available in small bottles, are used for bolus feeding and come in a variety of flavours like vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate.

In the bathroom, you need plenty of even, shadow free lighting for shaving, grooming, and applying makeup. In small bathrooms, mirror lights will illuminate the entire room, but in larger bathrooms, an additional ceiling fixture is needed for general lighting.

Occasionally, some people will experience challenges when adjusting to tube feeding. While it's important to be aware of potential tube feeding problems, it's important to remember that these problems can largely be anticipated and prevented.
