Hi Peter!
Hope you are continuing to do well in your healing. Your original post you were asking about a PEG tube and I wanted to agree with Brian that after a while the ability to taste suffers! I developed food aversions and did not want to eat. Fortunately I never was unable to swallow but there were times I did not want to swallow and there were times I was too exhausted to eat. I would vote for a PEG for anyone with OC.
