QuestionMy mom 85 is on oxgen 2.0 liters. Everytime she sits down to a meal she starts a thing like belgishing until 99% of the time she pucks. What could possible cause this? It doesn't matter if she eats something as bland as cream of wheat or as spicy as spegetii. I first thought she was sucking air while trying to chew, maybe eating to fast. But nothing seems to help. I got her to take her air off while she ate. It did seem to help a little, but it's all back again and it's extremely hard to sit at the same table with her.
AnswerHi there Jeanne, thank you for posting your question with Allexperts. My name is Dr Andrew Rynne. I am a medical doctor working in Ireland. I have ten years experience helping people Online sort out their medical concerns.
I am sorry but there are so many possible explanations for your mothers difficulties that it would be foolish for us to just start guessing. However, she may have some bowel obstruction and really you need to discuss this face to face with your health-care provider. I hope it all works well for you both.
Dr Andrew Rynne.
