The whole time I used the PEG during treatment and after while I was still on prescription pain meds, I had to do oe can at a time or it made me nauseated and would sometimes come back up (during treatment that may have also been ebcause of chemo and the amifostine which also made me rpetty nauseated). When I got off the pain meds and had my appetite back, I found I could do two cans at a time and eventually two cans and big glass of fruit or veg. juice at a time.

I had forgotten until reading about it above, but when I got the PEG, I was told to suck out and check stomach contents. I didn't do that much during treatment and completely forgot about it after that.
