Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Why your taking tube feeding? Is there any problem in esophagus motility or sphinteroplasty problem etc. If you're facing problem then take tube feeding only. Please consult your treating doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
