John is hoping to lose the PEG tube at some point, now that he is able to swallow. The problem is when he drinks his Ensure 1.5, it seems to get stuck in his throat and creates a lot of phlegm and stops him swallowing more. The MO has made it very clear that he has to keep his weight (which is 183 lb). Is there any advice or suggestions on what he can try?
