Please let us know what info the "PEG" class gives out. To my dismay, my CCC is totally clueless about using a G tube.
Here is a link to a site that has answers to lots and lots of PEG questions. Don't be confused about PEG, G or HEN, they all refer to feeding tubes, a PEG is just a G tube that was inserted using an endoscope down the throat. If you scroll down the lists of topics, there is a specific one on swimming.
Feeding tube Tips
Blended food will depend on what size tube they put in, ask them at class if you have a 12, 14 or 16 FR (french) size.
In feeding tubes, size really does matter, and the bigger the better.
