My father is currently undergoing chemo and radiation for his diagnosed tongue and neck cancer. He has type 2 diabetes. At this point he cannot tolerate anything in his mouth. So he requires hydration & nutrients through a feeding tube.His chemo is very low dose and he is not tolerating it well. He is unable to keep anything in his stomach. Nausea and vomiting regularly, even on anti-nausea Kytril. He has had to go the hospital a couple of times in the last week to get IV hydration.We've tried Boost (too much sugar) and Glucerna (for diabetics). He can't keep any of it down. I found some great recipes here:http://www.cancercompass.com/message-board/message/all,6950, all based on fortified milk. these sound promising, but the fortified milk has too many sugars. So the question is, are there foods that he might more easily tolerate:1. That would help settle his stomach2. is high in calories 3. Low to no sugars He will see a nutritionist/dietician soon, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful. This is posted in nutrition, but if anyone has suggestions regarding nausea/vomiting, I'd appreciate those as well.ScottLos Angeles, CA Nocturnation Sat, 10 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT Have you or your doctor taken a look at <a href=http://www.cwimedical.com/resource-support.html>Resource Support</a> Aenl200 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT Here was that link abovehttp://www.cwimedical.com/resource-support.html Aenl200 Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT
