Aspirating the formula

Hi, I am Looking for some advice

My dad has PSP and had a Peg tube for a month which was then replaced with Peg-j as he had a bad reflux and started aspirating the formula. He did well with Peg-j for a month but then he aspirated formula again. Dr said the tube was slightly moved so he fixed it. Everytime he starts getting a bit better, starts walking again then he aspirates and goes back to the beginning. Every time he goes back he loses more weight and strength. This is so heart breaking and exhausting.

He takes Motilium 3 times a day and Panpas 2 times a day. Is there any other medicine out there could help stop his reflux? Thank you.

Hi Aslin, was saddened to read your post and unfortunately I am unable to help as my husband wasn't affected by reflux. However hopefully someone else will be able to guide you.

Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.

Lots of love, Nanny857xx
