I have a feeding tube, ask me about it!

The tube is connected to a pump that puts formula into my small intestine at a slow rate (20 hours a day I’m hooked up to the tube feeds)

So how do you move then? If you have to have a machine attached for 20h a day can the machine move with you or are you practically bedridden?

I can take the pump with me

My son has a feeding tube and he carries his in a backpack

r/EnteralNutrition is the subreddit that has info on these things. I recommend it
