Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,082 | Vomiting "almost every day" three weeks after getting a PEG is NOT NORMAL and its' almost unbelievable that the doctors have not addressed this more seriously. I used "almost" because unfortunately it is very very believable based on my experiences of how cavalierly PEG problems are handled. It's as though the default medical assumption is that the patient is doing something wrong. Have anyone considered any anti-nausea medication? I can't add anything else except sympathy here as Christine is the resident OCF expert based on her hard earned knowledge especially on pump rates etc.
