What is gastronomy care? <\/strong><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen eating by mouth becomes difficult or no longer possible, a feeding tube can be essential, but managing it at home can feel overwhelming at first. That\u2019s where Visiting Angels\u2019 gastronomy and feeding support comes in.\n\nGastrostomy feeding involves delivering nutrition directly into the stomach through a tube (PEG, RIG, or other forms), and it is commonly used when swallowing is unsafe due to neurological conditions, cancer or injury. Our gastronomy care focuses on making the process as easy and as comfortable as possible.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why choose feeding support at home?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Managing a feeding tube is a very personal thing, which is why many of us would prefer to do this at home, rather than in an unfamiliar clinical environment.\u00a0<\/p>
If using a feeding tube is part of your ongoing healthcare plan, travelling for routine support can become overwhelming and impractical. Having support that comes to you is more convenient, and means you can do it in the place you feel most comfortable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A gastrostomy is a medical procedure where a small opening in the stomach is created to insert the feeding tube. A feeding tube is a broader term that refers to any tube used to deliver nutrition directly to your stomach, including gastrotomy tubes (G-tubes), nasogastric tubes (NG tubes) and others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
