Travelling with a Feeding Tube

I hope you enjoy this video, all about how I (as a 5-year tubie) travel with a feeding tube. I have done this with NG, NJ and now a G-J tube.
From how much feed to pack to security or getting a week's worth of food to another continent, I have got you in this video. Since having a feeding tube I have travelled to over 13 countries on 3 continents, so I have dealt with most of the trials and tribulations that come with it.

Hi Abi! Great info. I'm a dietitian writing a blog on flying with a feeding tube. Any in flight advice or tips?

Hi, That’s sounds great, it is something that takes a while to get used to that’s for sure. My top 3 tips would have to be: 1. Have a clear letter detailing everything you are taking through security. This way you can hand that over and they can look at everything you have and match it to what is listed in the letter. 2. Anything Medical can go in the hold for free. Take a letter saying you need this equipment and go to check in. They will check as many medical bags as you have - I always find it best to have these bags marked with medical equipment stickers. 3. Planned for the unexpected - we all hope that airline won’t loose our medical baggage but it can happen, so take enough feed in you’re carry on for at least your day of travel and 1/2 more. Bonus: if you are on a continuous feed, don’t sit in exit row or bulk head. As you can’t have anything on you’re person or by your feed during take off and landing. You will have to disconnected and reconnect after take off and again before landing. Good luck with the blog. Abi
