I have a "garden variety peg" tube. No balloon or disk on the outside - a standard drain tube actually, a few stitches holding it in. I clogged it up, once, with Lactobacillus, probiotic, finely ground with a mortar and pestle. After that, I switched to a liquid probiotic. I only have a few pills to take and I use a pill crusher now.

If I fail the swallowing test again I will probably get a MIC-Key installed when this one is due for replacement,

I have recently been having some issues with bleeding around the stoma (not heavy) and it looks like the beginnings of granulation. I was overdoing it pulling weeds in the yard... They discharged me from the hospital with no instructions or wound care advice, swell!
