Because of problems with swallowing, a person may require tube feedings. That means the food must be liquified and carried directly to the stomach through tubes, bypassing the mouth and throat. This is called "gastric gavage." The tube may be inserted through the nose (naso-gastric) or through a surgically created hole in the person's neck, chest, stomach, or intestines.
