My PEG lately has become much slower to use. It used to be that I could empty two cans in one half hour and I would have to slow it down so that it did not make me feel uncomfortable. Lately, even with a new drip bag, it has taken closer to an hour to empty.
My question is this: Do the PEGs gradually get clogged up? Do I, after 6 months of having this one, need to go in and get a new one?

Thanks for the info.
