I dont think you will be drinking too quickly and it coming out into your stomach. Most PEGS in my experience have a small amount of serous type ooze around them that can have an odour. You would have a degree of abdominal pain and increasing abdominal distension if your Jevity was leaking into your abdomen and you would have a very high temperature. Also if you are having normal bowel motions this would also rule abdominal spill out. Get plenty of rest. Drink plenty of fluids and continue to take Paracetamol for an elevated temperature. Of course, should you have a persistantly and markedly elevated temp. with chills and shakes ( rigors ) and increasing abdominal pain then get to the ER. You could also flush your PEG with a small amount of water, about 30 mls to flush the line. Take care, Tammy
