What is your "usual" meal? H had some problems at first too, asked for a mild laxative which turned into a disaster and left him dehydrated. We're using Benefiber mixed in with Ensure and also pushing water or Pedialyte. Don't know if that will help you but H has had his Peg in for a little over a month and we're just now doing better. Also switched to a gravity feed bag rather than bolus feedings. When he takes it in slower, he does better (doesn't get that bloated feeling)and gets more in.
