  • Summary

  • Welcome to Tubie Talks, a podcast series celebrating the lives of people and families who tube-feed. I’m your host, author, journalist and tube-feeding parent, Melanie Dimmitt, and in this series I’ll be chatting with a vibrant mix of guests about how they go about this little-known, but no less worthy way of eating.

    I’m starting Tubie Talks close to home – quite literally – with my own family’s story. A few years ago my young son, Arlo, had a gastrostomy (G) tube inserted, was prescribed a diet of commercial formula and embarked on the worst few weeks of his life. Thankfully, the tube-feeding community came to our rescue with blended real food, the hero of Arlo’s story.

    Listen in to hear how Arlo and his family, friends and supporters found their tubie groove.
