@0pko0 I’m sorry your husband is having so much trouble with his tube feedings. Has it always been a problem or is it something new? A basic solution is to sit up during or right after the tube feeding. I attached a link for an article here. It may have some helpful info.

What has his doctor said, especially after the aspiration and pneumonia?

Thanks for the information. My husband had tube placed in 3/2020 due to lack of swallowing ability. His aspiration pneumonia cycle started 3 months after switching to Katie’s Farm this year He is doing all the right things for feed , motility is good and it baffles doctors what to do. Very frustrating.
