Angelia,

Are you measuring your fluid intake daily as well? And I do mean measuring. You should know how much water is going into you each day that you are in treatment. Use that Peg and pour, pour, pour water several times a day (or during your feedings) but make sure it is room temp or a little warm so your tummy takes it OK. So important and something that can easily be forgotten when it is so difficult to swallow. This should definitely help your digestive track.
