Hi there,
Thanks for your query. I fully understand your father's agony.
The feeding tube is most likely the cause of infection in stomach and intestine. It is usually due to bacteria called H.pylori.
A 10-14 days' course of anti-H.pylori (consisting of clarithromycin, tinidazole and anti-acid drug) will lead to significant improvement. Also, addition of Probiotics and digestive enzymes will add to the improvement.
I wish him speedy recovery.
