I remember those days on feeding tube. I had esophageal cancer tumor and was on feeding tube for several months when I could not swallow food. We used 6 ISOSOURCE cartons a day to get nutrition. I was tired a lot and did have some diarrhea but not too bad. The really good news is the turmor was gone after 28 days of chemo and radiation. And now the feeding tube is gone but I still have port.

This helped me tremendously but kind of expensive

@dcramer, I hope you saw the helpful posts from several members. How is your husband doing? How are YOU doing?

My Husband is on osmolite 1.5 and does 6 a day by 12 hour continous feed at 120 ml per hour, then does chicken broth by mouth to keep his sodium up. He was doing 8 boxes of Osmolite a day. He was 175lbs when Diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer 1/31/24 and is now up to 188lbs as of last week. Still having issues with low iron. He has iron infusions, Immunotherapy, and Chemo every other week, but his iron is still extremely low. Had to have 5 bags of blood transfused to get his hemoglobin up from 7.1 to 9.0

My husband was switched from IsoSource to Nutren due to diarrhea. It has less fiber. But they also found that he had an infection after they did a stool culture. Once treated with an antibiotic he was better.
