Nancy,

I suffered some degree of vomiting when I started on the PEG as well. I could correlate it back to adding a higher calorie formula, too fast through the syringe and too much activity shortly after feeding. Also seemed to occur right after getting up (after lying down or being sedentary for awhile). Zofran worked for me as long as I took it at regular intervals, prior to onset of any nausea.

Keep working to figure it out, but don't stop swallowing if you are not eating orally. I always sipped on mineral water and kept the swallowing going and it has paid off post treatment.

Best of luck.

Jasper
