Brian is so right about the tube, Room temp is the way to go. I don't mix water in my two cans but follow up the injections with a syringe with four injections of gatorade and one injection with clear floradiated water to clear the tube, My wife and I were shopping one early morning and I had fed myself three cans that morning. When we were in the store I bent over to look at something and the stopper on the peg tube popped open. I didn't realize it for ten seconds until there was one hell of a puddle on the floor and all over my pants and shoes. We had a good laugh over that one. Take care and remember to ask the doctor for a white clip to pinch off the tube below the end, my doctor didn't have one on right away and the end kepy popping open. No problems since. Take Care, Danny
