Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/82 - feeding tube fell out - ER Doctor replaced and X-rayed - said OK - stomach is growling a lot - feel uncomfortable - concerned whether Jevity is going into stomach or just inside body - not sen anyone since the new tube was inserted ...
I an understand your concerns.
even if the tube is in stomach or lower esophagus or even duodenum, it will get the Formula Jevity into the intestines and thence into the body as before.
Sine there is no history of coughing, respiratory problems or so so, we can always say that it is in proper place.
So if there are no symptoms related to respiratory system, please do not be worried and continue with the scheduled feeding program.
Please let me know if you have any other symptoms.
Take care.
With regards.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.

I do have respiratory problems. I have a cronic cough and have for years. Doctor dtold me last week that I have clpd (I think it is the correct abreviation), but I have never smoked. I do not drink or take drugs other than my heart meds.
Brief Answer:
COPD
Detailed Answer:
It is called COPD - this giving the chronic cough for years is not connected to the replacement of tube. The presence of the tube in respiratory system can cause tremendous distress.
Please carry on as advised above.
