Rosie, welcome to the site. Sorry you had to find us, but we'll help all we can. I had a peg as well and lost 50 pounds, 25% of my body weight. I had a lot of problems restarting the eating process. Soft foods worked best, soups, macaroni and cheese, and especially poached eggs on hash. Avoid spicy foods, vinegar, citrus. Your husband will have to experiment with what works and what doesn't. My wife got to the point that she was a little frustrated trying to find food I could eat. Tell him to keep at it and be stuborn. Don't let this disease beat him. Will pray for you both.


Regards, Kirk Georgia
