Dear Suze, I forgot to ask you how do they know when they have to put down a n.g.tube. What helps them decide they have to do it? How did you knowwhen you had a blockage ? Did you vomit, or become distended? I am so scared of that tube, but what can you do? Did they find a blockage on regular plain film xrays? Thanks for caring. Millie
