Re: Aloe Vera Juice in G-tube?

[Guest guest]

Hi --

I don't have any answers, but your post raised a few questions for me. My

charger, Eddie (6), started Prevacid about 6 weeks ago. Worked great for the

first few weeks, but now he's back to spitting up a little bit at a time,

continuing for more than an hour, after most meals. (That started the day after

Christmas. His endoscopy showed inflammation in his stomach, esophagus was fine.

Eddie eats orally, thick purees.)

I didn't know about the iron issue, and Aloe Vera has me intrigued. I

didn't know it could be taken internally. I'm going to the GI on Tuesday and

will

ask her. If she looks at me like I'm a nut, I'll call my

chriopractor/nutritionist.

, I have a question for you about the G-tube. Sounds like

is older and is this his first tube feed placement? I have

a daughter who is 20 months old and is fed by mouth, but we think it

might be helpful to get her a tube. Can you explain why you got one

for ? Also, did he get a fundoplication as well?

Thanks for your story, , mom to Carmen 20 months (CHARGE)

and Zachary 4.5 years.

I've given Aloe Vera Juice in her g-tube with no problems.

Aloe Vera Juice in G-tube?

Hi all,

My got his Gtube placed in February and is doing great. 4 pounds of

baby fat just flew right on! We're also finally back to where he is eating

food also. When the tube was placed, the GI's did an endoscopy and biopsy of

his tissues and said he had inflammation all the way through the tract.

has never had any symptoms fo reflux or even acted like he had any

pain, so

I was suprised at this. The doc's put him on prevacid, which really has not

gone so well. It's pretty much the strongest thing they could give him, I'm

not sure why they didn't start with xantac or something milder. The prevacid

just runs right through him and he had a terrible bleeding diaper rash until

I

stopped giving it to him. Also, he's anemic and prevacid severely reduces

capacity to absorb iron, which requires stomach acid. He's happier and eats

better while not taking it, so I made an executive decision! However, I can't

seem to get any GI's on the phone to ask about a different medication. I know

aloe vera juice works for acid/reflux stuff, but has anyone ever put it in a

g-tube? I am willing to experiment ;o)

Thanks,
