    pancrelipase or pancreatin.

    We are recommended to give Emily her enzymes right as she starts eating, and if she eats again more than an hour later, we give her more. This is because there is a limited window of time they will be effective. Giving them to her an hour before she even starts eating would be useless: there...

    We do not have personal experience with NG feeds. Our dr told us they use NG feeds at our clinic when it's anticipated that the supplementary feeding will only be needed on a very short-term basis; that when it's thought to be needed long-term they go with a g-tube. When you ask about a...

    tubefeeding

    There are quite a few adults here that have g-tubes that can give you their perspective/experiences on tube feeding, so hopefully they will see this thread and post as well. Is there a reason why your dr does not want you to have a milk-based formula or supplement? Do you have trouble...

    Emily has been able to recover from some mild colds on her own without any intervention, so I'm glad we don't start abx at the very first sign of a cough, but at the first sign of congestion or cough we increase vest and nebs. If this doesn't help and she is still coughing several days later I...
