Husband won’t eat

My husband would not eat either - lost 35 pounds. Also said he was full. Tried everything to get him to eat. He ended up in the hospital and was put on a feeding tube. His body had eaten most of his muscle and he had dangerously low blood pressure. They stabilized him. Before we left the hospital he asked to get a peg tube placed into his stomach to take the pressure off him. It was a HUGE blessing. The operation was pretty simple and he recovered in a few days. We started out hooking him up to a pump at night and his weight immediately stabilized. Now I feed his through bolis during the day. He eats Kate Farms Organic Glucose Support shakes now. We occasionally supplement with a small meal. After 5 months he is beginning to get a small appetite back. This peg tube in his stomach has truly saved his life. I would recommend it.

Keep an eye on Kate Farms.

See more details on last year’s shutdown of
the Kate Farms (Lyon Magnus) manufacturing plant because of bacterial contamination. Food Safety News reported they did not shut down when they knew your health was at risk.

FDA warns Lyons Magnus over serious violations after last year’s recall of Oatly, Organic Valley, Glucerna and other brands

As part of its enforcement activities, the Food and Drug Administration sends warning letters to entities under its jurisdiction. Some letters are not posted for public view until weeks or months after they are sent. Business owners have 15 days to respond to FDA warning letters. Warning letters often are not issued until a company has been given months to years to correct problems.

Thank you so much.
