Thank you for the suggestion, it's welcomed, but hubby has now had his j-tube removed because of the intolerance to formula...now he is taking TPN (IV nutrition) and his nausea and vomiting have subsided quite a bit because it is administer through the bloodstream rather than the GI tract. After he spent almost an entire month hospitalized, he has also gained some weight (about 14-lbs). Nevertheless, he now has to begin eating real food and if that causes nausea to resume, we will ask about that patch. However, while he was hospitalized, they tried a patch one day but it caused mental confusion. (I don't know if it was scopolamine but whatever it was, side effects included confusion, just as scopolamine does.)

Yes the patch definitely has some side effects especially if you try to discontinue it. I hope y'all are able to find the answer to getting your husband well again, my husband is losing the battle and I believe giving up and I'm falling apart.
