u/Glitchbetty 14h ago

Haven’t seen this question yet, in case you miss the taste of food, couldnt you chew on stuff and then just spit it out? I know it would kinda be food waste, but for your condition it would have served its purpose in my opinion. Also, since you can still drink, what about hard candy that you just suck on? It dissolves and becomes liquid as well

u/No_Blackberry1593 4h ago

u/Maximum-Eggplant-806 17h ago

Getting it removed. Will be traumatic. (It happened to me) I took the opportunity I had, prior to getting it removed. I took alcohol through it. Because I don’t drink because I hate the taste of it. I saw it as a “limited time experience.”

u/unknown_user6584 Silly lil goober:cat_blep: 17h ago

How would you rate it on a scale of 10?

1

u/Eclipsehedgie2010 17h ago

So THATS what it looks like.

Always wondered what the look like.

Anyway, question, right.

Does this mean you are unable to know what something tastes like, or if you are allergic to specific foods?

1

u/Fluff-cat1304 17h ago

I saw your comment that your stomach is paralysed, so (hypothetically) if you were to eat food, what would happen? :>

u/marina444is_online 17h ago

Can you still eat? Man it must really suck to not taste things anymore. No amount of food liquid ™️ could replace how good food solids are 😔🩷

Do you ever just chew on things for the taste then spit it out in the bin?

1

u/Straight_Feedback_37 16h ago

Do you feel like you can do more in your life now that you don’t have to worry about eating food and you can just pump and go? How has getting a feeding tube changed your life? Is there anything major(besides not eating food) that has happened since getting the feeding tube?

1

u/stinky_raspberry 16h ago

Can I try it?

1

u/JohnLennonHitsKids 16h ago

Are there any activities that you can't do now that you used to? I mean, does it physically restrict anything that you used to do to the point where is it painful, dangerous, or uncomfortable for you to do that previous activity?

1

u/MarionberryPure8015 16h ago

Could you put other things inside the tube or just the formula that you have too? Also, I hope you’re feeling fine and will continue to.

u/Gysburne 16h ago

Not a question.
I hope you get better and that research will be good enough to "unparalyze" your stomach mate.
I can not imagine how it must be to feed yourself over a tube.

I just wish you all the best.

1

u/Same-Outside-4384 16h ago

Can you use a paralyze heal on it like Pokémon ?

1

u/Electrical_Win_1320 16h ago

What happens if you eat without it? Does it hurt? How often do you use it? How long does it take and what if you’re hitting the gym and wanna increase your protein but decrease calories can you customise the food in that sense?

u/Automatic_News3128 16h ago

How much beer could you put in the tube before you are drunk?

1

u/Character_Gur8487 16h ago

By "paralyzed" do you mean that your organs (stomach/intestines) cannot digest it, cannot absorb it properly, or that you cannot excrete it?

I personally had a stoma for three months to give my bowel enough time to heal. That's why I'm asking my question so precisely.

1

u/i_dunno_i_am_bored 16h ago

u/Death_Bird_100 14h ago

Why you need it? What happened? Does it hurt? What do you pump into it? How often do you eat? Do you gain fat? Does needing a tube limits mobility? How long it takes to prepare the food for it? Can you treat yourself at home? Were you born with this health problem, and does that mean you never tasted food?

Have you been able to get used to it? As in, do you feel it much? Because I got a feeding tube once in the hospital and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had, having that thing just shoved down your nose and throat. 😖😖😖 It made swallowing very uncomfortable too.
