Hi Amy
Well I'm going to sit on the fence about this one, tonight I'm enjoying my first glass of red wine (YES, for those who know me it is the first) since my operation, and everyone I have talked to seems to agree, spirts no, but moderation of beer or wine should be no problem, although I would add not if any area of the mouth is still sore. With regard to the feeding tube, listen to the Docs, my peg is due to come out on the 14th of Oct but I could not have managed without it, it's not a big deal, ask the Docs why now?
Sunshine.. love and hugs
Helen
