You can also use an enteral feeding pump and slowly trickle the liquid through the PEG. This allows the body to process versus loading up the stomach with liquid and regurgitating it. I was a lot like Gary only I was on all fours just before laying on the floor. I eventually went with anti-nausea suppositories since I couldn't even keep the medicine down.
