Well, things had been going so well. I started eating again, yogurt, pudding, mac & cheese, mashed banana, etc. you know the fare. I am doubled over in pain when I take a deep breath. I went to the ER, fearing infection, but it seems it's just plain old gas. It's nice to have something ordinary for a change, but not so nice to pay a large co-pay to found out.

Anyone else had trouble with horrible gas pains, when starting to eat again after 3-4 months on the PEG tube?
