If you’re as sick as you sound and you can no longer accept food in your stomach either TPN (total parental nutrition) or a PEG tube for feeding which bypasses your stomach.

You would think so. I can accept food but it does not stay or digest correctly. Even liquid diet causes stomach flu like symptoms. And I get only 300 cals a day on a good day. Been going on for months as I waste away. My other specialist are asking them to do it and are quite concerned, but the gastro docs just wanna try another med, which so far only makes feel worse. It is starting to get too scary to keep playing games with them.
