G-Tube

A gastrostomy tube (also called a G-tube) is a tube inserted through the abdomen that delivers nutrition directly to the stomach. It's one of the ways doctors can make sure kids with trouble eating get the fluid and calories they need to grow. Not only is it used for Cystic Fibrosis, but many other sicknesses. It is used for cancer patients, people who can't swallow, and many other things.
