Peg tube users: Do you "taste" the foods you pour into your peg tube? Even though I can only vaguely taste anything by mouth, I can still get a very distinct sense of taste in the back of my throat when I pour food into my peg tube.

Said another way, I can only vaguely taste the strawberry Ensure when I swallow it, but I get a very distinct strawberry 'sensation' in the back of my throat when I pour that strawberry Ensure into my peg. Am I halluncinating this taste sensation? How can something poured directly into my stomach give me a taste in my throat??

Did my IMRT rewire me, or am I just strange? Tom
