You would get a better and more accurate response by asking his oncologist.
I am not sure what you mean when you say a feeding tube, I am guessing you mean a G-tube?
Those tubes can get clogged, so you need to find out from his doctor.
Good luck to you!

Ensure. These are drinks that are packed full of vitamins, minerals and calories. They are really good to make sure you are getting the good fat, and are very good for you. I wish you the best of luck. I will be praying for him. I know that God can do anything, so I will pray that the cancer be totally removed and sent into remission. Please have a Merry CHRISTmas and a wonderful new year.

You could try Boost or Ensure drinks. They are like meals and have different flavors. I was told to drink them when I needed to gain weight.

I suspect he is also not active enough to burn off a bunch of calories either. Let him be unless the doctor suggests it. Tell your boyfriend there IS life after cancer. :)

I am so sorry about your boyfriend, I hope he feels better.
Maybe let him drink Gatorade, maybe look it up on google.com, let him just eat a whole big bag of sugar, he'll put on some pounds.
