PEG tube for Gastroparesis keeps getting plugged

by jmchapman, May 27, 2009 04:35PM
Hello all I am trying to get some information for my mother whos recently been diagnosed with Gastroparesis.. Shes been home for about 2 weeks now and has had a terrible time with the PEG tube getting plugged.. She has been in once already to have the tube replaced SINCE SHES BEEN HOME.  We have tried flushing at more frequent intervals and am considering trying to find another supplier for the formula.  Is there any suggestions you guys can offer to help us keep the tube from plugging?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance
