Hi I am after advice on getting my nutrition from some other source other than eating. I am getting all sorts of brain reactions which are literally doing my head in!. Ive seen pictures of people with some sort of Button attachment on their abdomen. I dont want it to be a permanent arrangement; just till I get help? with my brain injury( i;ll be lucky) and hope fully reverse the situation. Thanks for any help given.

Hello,
Look into Enteral Feeding/Nutrition. I don't have any experience of it myself, but I have seen a bit about it in the parents forum as a lot of kids seem to have it as treatment.
Good luck I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks LMV; is that tpn where they use the button on the belly? I;ll do some more investigative stuff. Yes come to think of it I have seen a few pics of kids with the button on the belly; poor wee things. What I need now is a Gastro to accept what I am telling him/her;might be a bit of an effort. The guy i;ve got now isnt much good. Have tried to change but the hospital seem reluctant to co-operate. Just have to add it to my wish list. Hope you are well. KarlvB

I'm not sure if it is the button on the belly - but I know it evolves feeding tubes so it might be something you can consider.

I've just had a really quick look online and the enteral nutrition can be used with different tubes going into different places so probably is what you are thinking of.
