The Nil By Mouth Foodie was founded in 2020 by passionate chef Loretta and professional photographer Amy who teamed up to create a unique platform combining plant based gluten free recipes, sharing Loretta's life story and educating on living with multiple chronic illnesses.
On this week's episode of the NGPODCAST we welcome our first celebrity guest, Loretta Harmes AKA the Nil by Mouth Foodie. Loretta is no longer able to eat or drink and is fed through a nasogastric/nasojejunal tube and a Pickman line through her heart. Despite this she has not let it come between her love and passion for cooking that she developed from a young age.
Loretta's story to diagnosis went viral and in April the BBC wrote a story on the Nil By Mouth Foodie's relentless journey. You can read the full story here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-56688582

In this week's episode of the #NGPODCAST we are breaking new ground by featuring someone who uses enteral feeding to share their journey and that of their family. As part of @Pinnt's (the leading UK Charity supporting people who use artificial nutrition) new "Let's talk about HAN" (Home Artificial Nutrition) campaign, your host Marcus Ineson talks to Gary and Colette Taylor. Back in 2016, Gary went to his doctors following a football injury to his groin, following a head to toe examination they found a lump in his neck. He had previous issues with his tonsils but subsequent scans discovered the lump was actually a tumour. We follow their story from the initial identification of Gary's condition to starting long term enteral nutrition, recovery, and subsequent tremendous achievements breaking records.

What is the impact of nasogastric tube misplacement on a family?
NG Tube related Never Events continue to occur, but most healthcare professionals don’t get to see the impact on the lives of families.
For episode 4 of the NGPODCAST, we speak to our dear friend Deahna Visscher, who’s son Grant died at just 11 days old after being fed through a misplaced NG Tube, about what happened that day and what she has done since then to try and prevent other families suffering the same tragedy.
Since his death in 2008 she has been on a quest to find a solution to prevent others from experiencing the loss that she was due to a misplaced feeding tube. She has become a parent partner on the Patient Safety Committee at the hospital where Grant died at and has also become a member of the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) sub-committee NOVEL (seeking New Opportunities for Verification of Enteral tube Location).
We are also joined by Beth Lyman (MSN, RN, CNSC) who is a nurse consultant who formerly worked at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. She has been a Nutrition Support Nurse for 36 years with 26 of those years at a children’s hospital. Beth chairs the NOVEL Project (New Opportunities for Verification of Enteral tube location) which is an inter-organization, inter-disciplinary and international effort to promote best practice for NG tube placement verification (which Deahna is also a key member of).
On this week’s episode, we discuss how they got involved in the NOVEL Project, their Patient Safety Movement Foundation activities, the influence the UK has had on US NG tube safety, and how you change practice in a vast country with 52 States and a population of 331 million people.

03:20 Deahna talks about what happened to the Visscher family due to NG tube misplacement
15:28 How have you taken what happened to Grant, and used it to try and reduce the risk for other families with children that are being NG tube fed?
22:00 Beth Lyman discusses the big differences between the UK and US with regards to nasogastric tube placement verification
25:34 Can you tell us about the research that NOVEL has done and what that told you about the risk of NG feeding in the United States
28:45 What was the comparison with testing nasogastric tube position out in the community?
30:45 Has the UK’s work around NG tube safety influenced practice in the UK at all? 32:58 How do you think having the patient/family/carer voice in has influenced the debate and help change in practice be progressed?
38:16 the US has a population of 331 million and 52 states, how do you even start changing practice on the scale you have to deal with, and what have you learned that might be useful for others that want to change practice in an area like patient safety?
