How long should one be eating totally by mouth before the doc will "allow" the PEG to be removed? Tim had a complete strictuure and had 2 dilations 1 was 3 weeks ago the other last week (8 weeks out of treatment), his swallowing has vastly improved. He's eating yogurt, tomato soup, cream of wheat and the past few days has eaten egg salad, ham salad and scrambled eggs. He's been doing the exercises the speech pathologist gave him and it really works! He also had his first CT scan 2 weeks ago, which came back clear.
