I wish I could help but to be honest Harry hasn't eaten since Feb.1st. I keep trying to encourage him but he doesn't like the taste and just flat out refuses. He just pours his food down the tube and seems content with that.

I keep trying to tell him that he should at least try and on the rare occasions he has eaten some cream soup or something but it is very rare.

If it weren't for the PEG, Harry wouldn't be alive. I am anxious to read the responses you get because I am trying everything to get him to eat. He has no pain in his throat he just gags when he tries to eat something solid or it tastes really bad so he just doesn't bother trying.

Interestingly he won't even drink a shake or anything like that.
