There have been a ton of posts here related to use of PEG's but they are roughly divided into those that had a drip bag (me) and those that put food in with a syringe. (I just used my syringe for flusing the tubing and injections of meds into the tube.) Start with a quick search of the boards under PEG and that will give you the jest of it. For me the bag had to be filled with equal amounts of water as food (Ensure for me) and it had to be a room temperature. Speed of drip was critical and too fast yeilded instant nausea. Think in terms of an hour or more per meal drip. Also do this sitting up, laying down means it's gonna come up, and afterwards, stay upright for at lest 30 min. Others will post more, but this should give you a start. Also, don't forget daily cleaning of the opening and applikcation of antibiotic oitment to head off infections around the tube. Also a must is flushing the tube with serveral syringes of water after each use to keep it clear.
