I have question about this PEG tube. I notice that when I take the cap off the clean it out all kinds of fluid comes gushing out of it. SOmetimes it is clear and sometimes it is not. Is that normal? And how do I keep the fluid form coming out? Do I just need to use the syringe and push it back into the tube? Thanks.
