PEG TUBE

Maybe a different formula would be better?
I haven't had to use my tube yet, so I know I'm not much help. But I do know that with my pups, that one small change in dogfood can make living with them easier. Just seems that something in Jevity isn't agreeing with your intestinal tract. I'm thinking that maybe Boost Plus or maybe even having someone cook up a real meal for tubes might alleviate your problem?

Beano?
Sorry, couldn't help myself. But, even folks who don't use a PEG and Jevity will have this kind of problem. I never needed Beano, but I was able to crush up all my pills, and use a syringe to get them in through my PEG. You might consider trying this, Couldn't hurt.
