Only PEG Experience Here
Sorry you're feeling like you're not getting the nutrition you need, Vivi. I had a PEG, and do not know what you can do with a gastrostomy. Can you take anything by mouth? I do know you can put home prepared foods though the PEG, but have to be careful it's strained with a fine enough strainer. Hopefully, someone with knowledge of the gastrostomy will post soon. Good luck.0 -

I believe Mick puts a variety (anything and everything) of foods thru his PEG.0 -

Should be ok, anything liquid should be ok as long as you flush it good to keep it clean.0 -

My husband has also been putting chicken broth down his tube. Just make sure it's cool!
I would also suggest that some if swallowed. This will help continue the automatic muscle reaction that is needed for eating and drinking. Small amounts more often work well.
