I'm trying really hard to eat more solid foods and depend less on my PEG for nutrition so I can get rid of the tube. The more food I eat, when it comes time to do a PEG feeding I get nauseated. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it normal or something I should talk to my ENT about next time I go. I've had problems with the tube in the past, infection and granulation tissue and have also had to have it changed out twice since it was put in June of last year. It seems there is a little redness around it now. Don't know if any of that makes a difference about this nausea or not. I would greatly appreciate any input you have on any of the above.

Thanks so much for all the positive responses I have gotten on my other posts!
